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.

SAAC Social Media Co-Chair
In the 2020-2021 school year I was determined to make a difference and have a bigger voice in SAAC, so I ran for the social media position on the SAAC Executive Board and got it! Below are some examples of my contributions to SAAC as the Social Media Co-Chair:

For Mental Health Awareness Month, SAAC participates in a campaign called "It's Healthy to Talk About it." As the Community Outreach Representative for my team, I help create an environment where everyone can be a mental health advocate. We create and distribute care baskets along with messages about mental health.
Student-Athletes attending a dinner at the Fire Station on 9/11 honoring Fire Fighters and their terrific service. This event allows us to interact with the Fire Fighters over dinner and casual games. I'm grateful for the opportunity to personally thank these heroes. Can't wait to do this again!
