The Student Association Appropriations Committee (SAAC) is looking for students interested in serving as Student Accountants. Applications are due on Friday March 9th by 4pm in the SAAC office. Interviews will be held on Tuesday March 20th. Applicants can contact the Treasurer for more information (joseph.eckert@rochester.edu).

The Student Accountant is an integral member of the Appropriations Committee (SAAC). SAAC manages the over $1M Students’ Association budget, and is responsible for budgeting this money to all SA organizations. Additionally, SAAC is responsible for accurately keeping track of the spending of each SA funded group throughout the year, helping groups with funding questions and hearing requests for supplemental funding and transportation funding.

Student Accountants must be organized, diligent and motivated. Day-to-day duties include keeping accurate records of the spending of specific groups, holding office hours for 1 hour 4 times per week, and occasionally meeting with Business Managers to help with questions. Additionally, SAAC holds weekly meetings to hear supplemental funding requests from various SA groups and Student Accountants, as voting members of SAAC, must be present at all of these meetings. Most importantly, during the spring semester, Student Accountants assist in the annual budgeting process.
