Hume Area Council
Hume Area Council (abbreviated as HAC) is a student organization that represents residents of the area to the Inter-Residence Hall Association and the University of Florida Department of Housing and Residence Life.[4] The organization is one of 11 area governments (abbreviated as AGs) that represent individual areas of residence halls.[5]
Representing Hume's spot as residence halls for University of Florida honors students, HAC was previously called the Students Honors Organization (abbreviated as SHO). SHO operated both as an area government and as a function of the honors system at the university in its own right.[6]
