Student Assistant - Student Activities Office

UAF Student Activities Assistant

The UAF Student Activities Office is looking for an energetic and creative student to assist in planning and implementing fun and exciting activities for other UAF students.

We do this by giving students the opportunity to have fun outside the classroom, challenge them to try something new, and grow through new experiences and meeting new people. We are supportive of the university and its mission, while striving to give voice and strength to the students. Community is built on shared experiences and growth, and we provide opportunities for both here on campus.

SAO puts on events and programs that students want to attend. Our programs should always serve a purpose – whether it is to allow students time to discover new interests, such as at an Open Mic Night, or to learn about climate change through a recycled art night. Find what you and other students are passionate about and run with it!
