Student Athlete Advisory Committee
What is SAAC? SAAC is a way for Student Athletes to have a voice in the NCAA through advisory committees at the campus, conference, and national levels. As a member of SAAC, I represent the ODU Swim and Dive team and am a liaison for my team. I am in charge of bringing whatever needs my team has to the table at SAAC meetings. Within SAAC, I am on the Golden Monarchs Award Ceremony planning committee, collaborating with other teams' representatives to plan the culminating celebration to honor all Student-Athletes at the end of all sports seasons in the Spring.
