The following students are serving on the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee for the 2025-26 year:

Whitewater, WI 53190: Olivia Nanni, who is studying Human Resource Management, is the College of Business and Economics representative.

The Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC) is made up of student representatives from across campus that allocate fees to student organizations and campus departments. SUFAC appropriates budgets to fund more than 100 activities, programs, and student organizations on campus.

“Representatives come from each academic college and Whitewater Student Government. Students gain decision-making skills, policy development and implementation, and the management of hundreds of thousands of dollars,” said Kim Clarksen, an advisor to SUFAC. “Their goal is focused on providing access to funds that assist students in having meaningful educational experiences while maintaining affordable fees for all students.”

Clarksen assists the committee in applying policy and understanding the nuances of the groups requesting funds. She also supervises the budget interns that work alongside the committee, helping groups to spend their allocated dollars.

Students can reach out to the dean of their colleges and/or to the Whitewater Student Government to express interest in serving. For more information, visit uww.edu/sufac or send questions to sufac@uww.edu.
