Student Athlete Advisory Committee

The Student Athlete Advisory Committee is an unknown group to many athletes and non-athletes on campus. Yet, it is a great organization that I started being a part of my sophomore year and now I am the president of the group. It wasn't until this year that I realized how important SAAC is to the athletic department and programs.

SAAC is made up of representatives from all the different sports teams on campus. We work with getting interaction between all the teams, establish relationships between faculty and athletes, promote all the games/matches and work with the legislation of the NCAA. It is awesome!!


Then today I attended the OAC SAAC meeting and we were able to talk about the different rule changes that are up for voting and exchange ideas with other OAC SAACs. It was so fun and interesting to hear about what is going on on other campuses and maybe even steal a few ideas! :)

Anyways, I now understand the important of having SAAC and why it is a part of athletics. I hope that we can make a difference this year and be an active organization.
