​The Biden Institute is looking for Student Advisory Council (SAC) members to help identify, participate in, and promote programming across campus.

The vision of the Biden Institute Student Advisory Council (SAC) is to provide an opportunity for students to gain meaningful leadership experience in politics and public service.
