What is SAAC?
Team leaders are selected by their coaches to be members of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) each year. Meetings are held monthly to discuss issues of interest to student-athletes pertaining to their educational, personal, and athletic lives at the University of Maryland. SAAC members can make recommendations concerning policy to the Athletic Director and Athletic Council for their review and consideration. SAAC members are expected to be leaders that distribute information and encourage participation in CHAMPS/Life Skills events for their team and the department.
