-- Student Athlete Advisory Committee --
Purpose:
Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a group comprised of up to two student-athletes from each of the department's 15 intercollegiate teams. A primary focus of SAAC is to promote community (campus and external) engagement through a series of activities and events. In addition, SAAC also serves as an advisory committee to the department's administration regarding NCAA legislation and other matters that affect student-athletes on a conference (SUNYAC and UVC) level as well as a national level (NCAA).
Program Objectives:
- Promote opportunity, protect student-athlete well-being and promote a positive student-athlete image.
- Foster a positive and mutually beneficial relationship between student-athletes and athletic faculty, academic faculty, and wellness and recreation.
- Be guided by the principles of ethics, integrity, fairness and a respect for diversity.
- Increase on-campus and community involvement and encourage local volunteerism.
- Promote camaraderie among student-athletes.
- Provide valuable insight on legislation that governs our sports on the conference and national levels.
