The Highlander Abroad Advisory Committee (HAAC) decides how to allocate HAR funds. Members work closely with the Education Abroad office, voting for budget plan proposals that best serve UCR’s student body.
The HAAC is composed of up to thirteen members: seven undergraduate students* (with voting privileges), three staff members from the Education Abroad office (without voting privileges), one or two faculty members (without voting privileges), and one non-voting staff member to provide administrative support.
