Student Athlete Advisory Committee
The purpose of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to be a representative body for the student-athlete voice at Alfred State College. SAAC membership is voluntary or coach appointed annually and each sport should have no less than 2 representatives. The committee members serve as liaisons between the student-athletes, the athletic department and the college community. Members have the opportunity to address issues affecting student-athletes and offer input on college, conference and national NCAA issues. It is the mission of this committee to enhance the total student-athlete experience and protect the health and well-being of all student-athletes.
Our SAAC strives to:
· Promote communication between athletics administration and student-athletes.
· Disseminate information.
· Provide feedback and insight into athletics department issues.
· Generate a student-athlete voice within the campus athletics department formulation of policies.
· Build a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams.
· Solicit student-athlete responses to proposed conference and NCAA legislation.
· Organize community service efforts.
· Create a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees (e.g., student government).
· Encourage a positive student-athlete image on campus.
