The museum's Student Advisory Committee (SAC) is a group of students with diverse majors ranging from pre-med to American Studies who share a common interest—a passion for the arts. SAC engages in a range of activities to achieve their main goal of promoting a greater awareness of the museum among students. In the past, the group organized a campus forum to discuss potential candidates for a commission for an outdoor sculpture to be installed in a soon-to-be-selected site adjacent to the museum. The group also worked with museum staff and the Development Office to create a program of events to celebrate the spring opening of the Skinner Museum. Students, faculty and members of the South Hadley community gave presentations on topics related to objects in the Skinner Museum's diverse collection.

This year, SAC has undertaken a special initiative to promote the Student Friends of Art, whose members receive the museum newsletter and invitations to openings as well as other special events.
