What is SAAC?
SAAC consists of representatives from each intercollegiate athletic team, cheerleading/dance team, and athletic training. Each committee member is nominated by his/her respective coaching staff/training staff and then voted on by the current SAAC representatives. The committee meets every two weeks to discuss current developments within the NCAA, the Mountain West Conference and the University of Wyoming.
University of Wyoming SAAC Mission Statement
The mission of the University of Wyoming Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is to enhance the quality of life of the student-athletes and to promote a positive student-athlete image both on and off campus.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee serves as a liaison between the administration and the entire student-athlete population. The Committee also serves as a forum for discussion of pertinent student-athlete concerns and issues. In addition to working with university administration to enhance the general welfare of the student-athlete, a major goal of SAAC is to give back to the community. SAAC is active in numerous philanthropic activities throughout the school year.
