Student-Athlete Advisory Committee

Mission Statement

The State University of New York Institute of Technology Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will present a positive image of the student-athlete to the entire college, including professors, administrators and other students. The SUNYIT SAAC will work to ensure equal opportunity and success for all student-athletes, both academically and athletically, and inspire unity, teamwork and school pride throughout the campus community.

Purpose

  1. To represent their teammates and convey any concerns or issues that are of importance.
  2. A venue that provides open communication amongst themselves and with the coordinator.
  3. A venue where student-athletes voices are heard.
  4. A forum where issues and concerns are portrayed and relayed to the athletic administration.
  5. To support fellow athletes in competition.
  6. To work with the C.A.T.S. program in developing lectures and community service projects.

Role

The S.A.A.C. will operate within the athletic department under the advisement of a SUNYIT staff member. The views of its members will convey those of all SUNYIT student-athletes.

Representation

Each varsity sport will have two representatives on the committee. If someone can not make it to a meeting they will find someone from their team to replace them for that meeting. If anyone is interested in joining the S.A.A.C, please contact Kelly Moore at 792-7519.
