Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
What is the SAAC?
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a group comprised of two student-athlete representatives from each team as well as representatives from the Sports Information Department and the Athletic Training Department. The representatives are assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses. The SAAC also plans and implements athlete socials that build the community within Wingate athletics.
What is the mission?
The members of the SAAC act as liaisons between the student-athletes and the athletic department administration. The members communicate to the staff any cares and concerns that fellow student-athletes may have about the campus community or the athletic department as a whole.
SAAC members set up community service projects, handle student-athlete welfare issues, plan athlete socials, develop and enhance leadership skills, and act as the governing voice for all student-athletes.
How do you become a member?
Interested athletes should see their head coach about being a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. If no student-athlete volunteers to represent his/her team, the head coach of the particular team will choose each team's representative.
