Honors Student Advisory Council (HSAC)

This WSU Registered Student Organization (RSO) is for students in the Honors College. HSAC aims to build a sense of community among students as well as organize various academic, service, and philanthropic events each semester. All students are welcome to attend the meetings held every Monday at 7 p.m. in the Honors Lounge.

What is HSAC?

HSAC stands for the Honors Student Advisory Council. As such, we’re here to work with both the WSU Honors College faculty and staff, and its students to support the Honors College experience. To that end, we have a few goals:

Create and strengthen relations between honors students, faculty, and staff
Foster a sense of community within the Honors College
Support Honors students academically and socially

What does HSAC do?

HSAC plans many events over the course of the school year, from our Yule Ball in December to our spring Distinguished Lecturer. These events are a great place to get to know your fellow Honors College students and meet faculty.

Who is in HSAC?

Any student in the WSU Honors College is welcome to attend our meetings and events.

What’s your favorite part of HSAC?
My favorite part of HSAC is the community that it fosters within the Honors College! The fact that our meetings are held in the Honors Lounge provides a reliable meeting space for those students living in the Honors Hall. I joined because I wanted to be a part of the student voice for the Honors Hall and I’m glad to get to spread that voice to others!
