The FAU Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is an organization of student-athletes that strive for excellence in academics, athletics, and a high level of participation in our community. The goal is to be the liaison between the team members, coaches, and administrators here at the Florida Atlantic University. The student-athletes continuously work to better relate and discuss important issues and events involving the athletes and the University thereby accommodating all parties and maintaining an open communication relationship.
Each athletic team at FAU has at least two representatives on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. SAAC meetings provide students with a vehicle to express any concerns that they may have with existing practices and to offer suggestions for improvements in the future. The SAAC also organizes a wide variety of community outreach activities each semester. This past year was particularly productive for us as we organized a holiday party for local underprivileged children and also celebrated "National Student-Athlete Day" by teaching local kids about different sports and what it takes to be a student athlete.
