Lyman Briggs Student Advisory Council
The Lyman Briggs Student Advisory Council (SAC) is a student government group within LBC. The SAC is an opportunity to help connect students with faculty, host student engagement events, as well as create merchandise for the LBC community.
The council consists of elected members of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes of LBC students, and anyone is welcome run to be on the SAC. Elections are held at the end of each academic year. A great way for freshmen to get involved is to be on the Freshman Class Council, open to anyone wishing to participate. After a year on the FCC, these students are encouraged to continue their leadership by running for SAC.
