Other Information

The Wesleyan Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a group of student-athlete representatives who work with the administration to improve and support Wesleyan's athletic community.  SAAC's goals are to generate a student-athlete voice in dialogue with the faculty, the student body, and the NESCAC league.  On a national level, SAAC responds to NCAA legislation, as well as, encouraging student-athlete community service efforts.

At the risk of placing limits on some possibilities, there are many ways in which the SAAC can serve both our athletes, and our campus, and include many of the following ideas:

• To help foster a positive relationship between the athletic and academic communities
• To promote efficient communication between the Wesleyan University Athletic Department and the student-athlete population
• To promote athletics as a valuable part of the college experience, and to help create a positive image of student-athletes and athletics on our campus
• To design and implement programs which will encourae community relations, school spirit, and sportsmanship
• To encourage involvement of student-athletes in campus and community service projects
• To disseminate information to student-athletes
• To solicit student-athlete responses to proposed NESCAC and NCAA legislation
• To boost attendance and excitement at Wesleyan Athletic events
