Nicholas Petreikis serving on UW-Whitewater SUFAC for 2024-25 school year

Nicholas Petreikis from Eagle River, who is studying Public Policy and Administration at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, was selected to serve on the Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee.

Petreikis is the Vice Chair of Educational Outreach and Whitewater Student Government, a two-year appointment.

The Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC) is made up of student representatives from across campus who 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 who work alongside the committee, helping groups to spend their allocated monies.

Students can reach out to the dean of their colleges and/or to the Whitewater Student Government to express interest in serving.
