Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a committee
made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the
student-athlete experience and to offer input on the rules,
regulations, and policies that affect student-athletes' lives at
Whittier College.
The SAAC at Whittier College is intended to serve as a conduit of
communication among student-athletes, coaches, and athletics
administrators on issues to improve the student-athlete experience
and promote growth and education through sports participation.
Concerns can be voiced and solutions offered regarding any
student-athlete issue that may be relevant to NCAA and SCIAC.
Through the grass-roots efforts of SAAC's, student-athletes have
the opportunity to change the face of intercollegiate athletics
both at Whittier College, in the SCIAC and on the national
level.
