The Student Activities committee is responsible for putting on events for all Purdue students on campus. Each SA member plans one event, with the help of the committee and other council members. In the Fall semester, SA puts on the Freshman Picnic, Engineering Olympics, and Quiz Bowl. In the Spring semester, SA's events include Sports Tourney, a 5K Run, and Student-Faculty Picnic.

• ENGINEERING OLYMPICS - a fun-filled day of inflatable games and engineering design competitions. The event is held on the Engineering Mall and challenges students with both physical and mental tests. Students can have some fun between classes and win t-shirts and other prizes.
