The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) is a representative body of every varsity sport at Winthrop University. Each team has two representatives on the Council. The Council is governed by a Constitution and is student-athlete led. The purpose of this group is to communicate ways to enhance the experience for fellow student-athletes and to provide a voice for the student-athletes as a body. SAAC representatives are chosen to be members of the board based on their leadership, academics, spirit, and maturity.
The responsibilities of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council include:
To discuss and address the concerns of student-athletes
To communicate and work with the Winthrop University Administration
To suggest programs to benefit student-athletes’ needs
To provide input on University, Big South, and NCAA policies
To update student-athletes on SAAC activities, Winthrop University Athletic policies, and NCAA legislation and issues
