The student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC offers input on rules, regulations and policies that affect the student-athletes lives on campus across the country. Members of SAAC will develop leadership skills both inside and outside the field of competition, protect student-athlete well-being, and mature into well-rounded individuals while promoting a positive image of Daemen College at all times.
