Activities sponsored by the Student Activities Council (SAC) at Northwest Missouri State University aim to foster student engagement, explore interests, and help students build friendships outside of their classrooms. This fall, SAC will host a series of events featuring a magician, a change-making speaker, and a comedian.
The fall schedule includes Savio Joseph on Friday, Sept. 27; Payton Head on Thursday, Oct. 3; and comedian Mike E. Winfield on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Each event begins at 7 p.m. in the Charles Johnson Theater at the Olive DeLuce Fine Arts Building and is free and open to the public.
“The Northwest Student Activities Council is committed to creating a vibrant campus community this fall by offering events that foster student engagement, inclusivity and fun,” said Natasha Metzger, SAC president. “Whether you’re looking to make new friends, explore new interests or simply take a break from your studies, our events offer something for everyone.”

This fall’s activities include a craft night on Thursday, Sept. 19; Grocery Bingo on Thursday, Oct. 24; Late Night at the Rec on Thursday, Nov. 14; and Lego Night on Thursday, Nov. 7.
