The Ithaca College Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) was created in the fall of 1994 to serve as the representative body of student-athletes at Ithaca College. The establishment and recognition of SAAC has been an important step to enhancing the involvement of student-athletes on matters that affect their experience as a student-athlete.Â
Mission Statement
Communication among campus and national SAACÂ offers student-athletes the opportunity to shape the landscape of intercollegiate athletics.
Functions of campus SAACs:
- 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).
- Promote a positive student-athlete image on campus.
Members of a campus SAAC have the opportunity to address issues affecting student-athletes at their institution; furthermore, members have the opportunity to offer input on issues which may be national in scope.
