The role of the SAAC is to serve as a liaison between the student-athlete and the Athletic Department. This group will advise the Athletic Director and the University Wide Standing Committee on Athletics regarding matters concerning intercollegiate athletic programs offered at the University. Any student-athlete may submit a petition to the SAAC, which will be placed on the monthly meeting agenda for discussion.
The SAAC is comprised of 16 student-athletes who represent each of our athletic teams for that school year. There is also 1 representative from our student-trainers association and each club team. Appointments to the SAAC are for one year, and individuals can be re-elected until they graduate. Leadership of the SAAC will consist of a Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and a Secretary. These are elected one-year positions, which are renewable.
