The Student Activities Fund (SAF) consists of monies paid to the SGA by students on a per semester basis. The money from this account is used to fund student organizations. It is also used for a variety of other purposes. Below you will find an explanation of the services that the SGA provides for students.

Students can ask professors or staff out to dinner at a local restaurant or out to a meal on-campus. Each meal is reimbursed for $20 off-campus and $10 on-campus. There is no limit on the number of students involved, the number of times students have meals, or which professors or staff they can ask. Students must be accompanied by a faculty or staff member.
