DePauw Student-Athlete Advisory Committee 

WHAT IS SAAC?

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is comprised of student-athlete representatives from each of DePauw University’s athletic teams. Members are chosen on the basis of coach recommendations and must be responsible and vocal leaders from their respective team.

WHAT DOES SAAC OFFER?

The DePauw SAAC is the primary conduit of communication between DePauw student-athletes and the DePauw Athletic Department. The SAAC is responsible for keeping the administration updated on the student-athlete experience and concerns of individual athletic teams. The SAAC also makes a concerted effort to positively impact the DePauw campus as well as the greater Greencastle community. Philanthropic efforts include participation in a national NCAA Division III partnership with the U.S. Special Olympics Organization and sport-by-sport charity drives.

MISSION
