The Student Athletic Advisory Council (SAAC) purposes to: 1) increase student support at all athletic events through increased promotion and publicity, 2) increase community involvement through various activities, including charitable ones, 3) develop a better relationship between student athletes and non-athletes, as well as faculty and administration and, 4) increase cohesiveness among sports teams.

The group supports athletes with an annual pre-registration event for freshmen and sophomores, a dessert reception recognizing athletic representation on the College Dean’s List, and an Athlete’s Formal. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has served as the SAAC charity of choice in recent years and is highlighted as part of the spring “Pink Zone” initiative that involves t-shirts, raffles and half-time events.
