STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
2007-2008

What is SAAC?
Team co-captains are selected by their coaches to be members of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) each year. Meetings are held monthly to discuss issues of interest to student-athletes pertaining to their educational, personal, and athletic lives at the University of Maryland. SAAC members can make recommendations concerning policy to the Athletic Director and Athletic Council for their review and consideration. SAAC members are expected to be leaders that distribute information and encourage participation in CHAMPS/Life Skills events for their team and the department.

Mission Statement

The mission of The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (S.A.A.C.) is to enhance the total student athlete experience by developing student athlete leadership skills, promoting student athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student athlete image on the Maryland campus, local area and in the nation.
