What is SAAC?
SAAC is a leadership committee that is made up of student athletes to help provide insight into the student athlete experience. They offer input on rules and regulations that directly impact their lives at the university, conference, and national level. They also help plan events, participate in community service, and empower the student athlete voice.
Two student athlete representatives from each team will be selected by the previous SAAC members from each sport. In addition to those members, anyone else is welcome to attend meetings. We strongly encourage all students to attend SAAC meetings!
The Executive Board of SAAC is composed of a small group of student athletes chosen to represent and lead SAAC.
