Mission
SASS is a student-run organization dedicated to serving the needs of students at SLAC.
We seek to build a student community that supports learning, communication skill development,
and exploration of research and careers. Each week we host seminars
delivered by and for SLAC students.
Our Constitution
Our
constitution was written in the fall of 2008. It was
ratified at the January 2009 meeting. The SASS Czar handbook can be found
here.
Organization
SASS is run by two 'czars' who organize seminars. All students at
SLAC are welcome to provide feedback, give talks, or become czars. As of Summer 2016, we also have a faculty advisor who helps organize events and facilitates smooth leadership transitions between czars.
Support
We thank SLAC's Particle Physics and Astrophysics
Stanford Fund and the Director's Office for providing refreshments for our seminars each week.
History
SASS was started in January of 2008 by Wells Wulsin and Manuel Franco Sevilla.
