Unlocking opportunities through SAC
August 18, 2026
From professional development and educational awards to events and campus involvement opportunities, the Staff Advisory Council (SAC) offers a variety of ways for staff to engage throughout the year.
Among these opportunities is the SAC Professional Development Program. The program helps staff cover the cost of professional development opportunities, such as attending conferences, that may not otherwise be possible without financial assistance. Opportunities must be directly related to an employee's career goals and current job responsibilities at FGCU.
In addition, SAC offers educational awards for eligible employees. The SAC and Barnes & Noble Bookstore Award grants two $250 awards each semester. The SAC Scholarship, administered through the FGCU Foundation, provides scholarship support for a staff member, or their dependent, for the academic year.
Employees kick off SAC’s 2026 Soar into Spring week.
SAC also hosts Soar into Spring in March, a week-long series of personal and professional development events for faculty and staff. Events range from workshops and facility tours to wet walks and self-defense classes.
Staff members can get involved by attending SAC’s monthly meetings. The next meeting takes place from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Sept. 18 in the Cohen Student Union, Room 213. For the full meeting schedule, upcoming events and more information, visit fgcu.edu/sac.
