Mission
The Software Engineering Student Advisory Council (SE SAC) serves as the bridge between the Software Engineering students and the Software Engineering Program. Council members meet on a regular basis to discuss student issues and concerns and to provide valuable feedback regarding the program curriculum, resources, and services. Input from the council is conveyed to the Program Director, faculty, staff, and the External Advisory Council (EAC), with the intention of providing continuous program improvement.

- Participate in Software Engineering Curriculum meetings.
- Participate in Software Engineering External Advisory Council Meetings.
