Mission Statement
The Student Academic Conference brings together students from all geographic and academic areas of the college to share and learn from each other. The conference seeks to
provide an arena for developing community among our students
provide a forum for presenting creative and inspiring accomplishments of an academic nature
foster the value of Empire State College as a learning community
immerse students in an academic culture.
History of the StAC
The Student Academic Conference grew out of the efforts of the Student Affairs Committee (SAC) in 2004. The Student Affairs Committee examined the ways we recognize the academic and personal achievements of our students. After researching already existing regional events and brainstorming new ideas, SAC secured funding through the Student Activity Fee (SAF) for this conference, the first of its kind for Empire State College.
The first conference was held in Saratoga Springs in 2005. The current planning committee consists of a wide range of college administrators and students who are committed to continuing the organic process of exchange.
