Student Athlete Advisory Council
“What a Difference a TRIBE Makes!” Leadership, Scholarship, Service
SAAC Mission The Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) is a committee made up of 2 representatives from each athletic team and the cheerleading squad. The Council provides a communication link to the Athletic Department administration, including presentation of issues or concerns pertinent to student-athletes, as well as a forum for education on department policies.
• The SAAC meets twice monthly to offer input and to discuss Athletic Department concerns, questions, management, operations, rules and ideas that affect student-athletes' lives on the W&M campus. • The SAAC sponsors the annual "Provost Awards" which recognize outstanding academic achievement by student athletes. • In addition, the Council plans and implements community service initiatives and promotes unity among student athletes.
