Student-Athlete Advisory Committee

Thursday, March 17, 2011

A Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on their experience. The SAAC offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

Campus, conference and national SAAC offer student-athletes the opportunity to shape the landscape of Division III intercollegiate athletics. During the NCAA convention, Division III SAAC members have an opportunity to speak to proposed legislation in front of the Division III membership. The officers for the 2011-2012 academic year are Holly Williams (president), Rachel Kain (vice president), and Erica Mazur (secretary).
