REGIS STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
 

What is SAAC?
The goal of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to give student-athletes a voice in the NCAA through advisory committees at the campus, conference, and national level. Each committee is made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience and offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on campus.
 
The mission of the NCAA Division II SAAC is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity for all student-athletes; protecting student-athlete welfare; and fostering a positive student-athlete image.

NCAA Division II SAAC
The Division II SAAC consists of one student-athlete representative from each of the Division II multi-sport voting conferences, one student-athlete representative of Division II independent institutions, and two student-athlete at-large positions.

The Division II SAAC affects the legislative process via an annual summit held each July with the Division II Management Council, during which members of the SAAC have an opportunity to interact with members of the Management Council on proposed NCAA legislation and current Division II issues. Also, committee members participate in the NCAA Convention each January where they express the student-athlete voice on collective concerns regarding proposed Division II legislation.

Division II national SAAC members actively take the lead in addressing issues facing Division II student-athletes such as the development of campus and conference SAACs, Title IX education, faculty/student-athlete relations and championships enhancements.

Mission Statement
The Regis University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee strives to gain insight and improve the total athlete experience. We are committed to creating a positive environment in all aspects of athletics including sportsmanship, community outreach, and the support of fellow athletes. We take pride in being the voice of the athletes and encourage each individual's ideas as to how we can better improve life as an athlete.
 
SAAC Statement of Behavior
It is the belief of the SAAC that Regis athletes should exemplify upstanding behavior at all times. Whether an individual is actively participating in a sporting event, supporting an event, or simply involved in a student body activity, the athlete represents Regis. The living mission of our university is, “Regis University, following in the Jesuit tradition, strives to educate men and women to be ‘leaders in the service of others.’" As Regis Athletes, we represent a unique branch of leadership than most other students and therefore are held to a different level of accountability. Remember, as a Regis student-athlete, whenever and wherever you are, you are ALWAYS representing more than just yourself.
