Student-Athlete Advisory Committee - University of Richmond Athletics

What is the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)?

The University of Richmond Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) intends to enhance the student-athlete experience by facilitating opportunities for leadership, community engagement, personal development, and camaraderie. SAAC provides student-athletes the opportunity to communicate with athletic administration on local and national issues, while members of the committee work together to discuss innovative ways to enhance the quality of the athletic experience at the University of Richmond. In addition, the NCAA seeks student-athlete input on various topics, and SAAC members have an official role as voting members in recommendations on issues that affect student-athletes life and welfare.

At the University of Richmond, SAAC is made up of at least two representatives from each athletic team, and these individuals represent their teams’ perspective on various topics. SAAC essentially represents the student-athlete “voice” within the University. The committee meets monthly to share and discuss different ideas and developments that affect student-athletes at the University of Richmond. Every meeting is open to all student-athletes.
