Pacific Islander Area Council


Area Councils are student run organizations with constituency seats in the student senate each representing the needs, concerns and advocating for minority groups on campus. Student senators attend and participate in student senate meetings as well as act as head of their respective area councils. Area Councils are a body serving in an administrative capacity for WSU minority students. The Multicultural Student Center houses four Area Councils.
