SAAC, Student Athletic Advisory Committee, is a group of student athletes who are committed to helping ensure a positive athletic experience for their peers. SAAC is composed of representatives from the various sports teams as well as the Athletic Department administrators. For us student-athletes, SAAC is a way to share our thoughts and opinions on our athletic experiences and find ways they can be improved.
Our job as SAAC Presidents is to ensure a constant line of communication between the student-athletes and the administration. We take feedback from the representatives seriously and we try to help the student-athletes as much as we can within our capacity.
Please feel free to contact us at any time.
