Administrative history
The University Program Council at South Dakota State University serves as the primary student programming organization responsible for coordinating campus entertainment, cultural, educational, and recreational events. Organized and led by student members, the council plans and implements activities designed to promote student engagement and leadership development. The organization operates through specialized committees that oversee areas such as special events, social awareness, marketing, films and forums, arts, recreation and travel, and showcase programming.
Funded primarily through the General Activity Fee, the University Program Council administers student fee resources to provide programming for the campus community throughout the academic year. Student leaders manage event planning, budgeting, promotion, and execution, with opportunities for broader student involvement through committee participation and coordinator roles. The council functions as a recognized student organization within the university’s student activities structure.
