Institutional Advancement Committee

Despite the common misconception, the "Institution" referred to in "Institutional Advancement Committee" is not SGA: it is the Academy. IAC's main goal is to promote the Missouri Academy on a local, regional, and national level. When it comes to the major, non-repeatable achievements of SGA (i.e., things besides keeping the building clean or running dances and prom), IAC is a powerhouse of activity.

Besides working to advance the Academy, it is also a sort-of "catch-all" committee, flexible enough to tackle any issue of the day.

Achievements[edit]

Some of IAC's achievements are listed below:

College Fair[edit]

The annual Missouri Academy College Fair was started by IAC, and is organized by it every year. For more details, see the "Accomplishments" section of the SGA page.

Hard Mic Cafe[edit]

On April 13th, 2010, IAC hosted the first Academy-sponsored university-wide event in Northwest history. Hard Mic Cafe, an Open Mic event, was hosted in the Station Center room. The event was funded by RHA and MASGA, and drew over 100 attendees (around 25 being traditional students). The event was run by IAC co-chairs Courtney Flood and Garrett Meyer.
