Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Mission Statement

The mission of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to represent and empower the voice of student-athletes by fostering open communication between athletes, athletic administration, and the broader university community. SAAC is dedicated to cultivating leadership, community engagement, and advocacy among student-athletes while promoting a positive and unified athletic experience.

Through active participation and collaboration, SAAC strives to provide meaningful feedback on issues affecting student-athletes, contribute to the development of policies, and ensure student-athlete perspectives are reflected at the campus, conference, and NCAA levels. The committee is committed to building a strong sense of community across all athletic teams, encouraging service and involvement both on and off campus, and enhancing the overall student-athlete experience.

SAAC empowers its members to serve as dependable leaders who advocate for their peers, promote engagement in community service initiatives, represent student-athletes in campus-wide decision-making, and uphold a positive image of athletics within the university and surrounding community.
