All About SAAC
How did you get involved in your campus SAAC?
I got involved in SAAC because I wanted to join a committee/club and one of the captains of the volleyball team (who is also in SAAC) told me I’d be a perfect fit!
What do you enjoy most about being a member of SAAC?
I love being a member of SAAC because I enjoy sharing my teams' thoughts and opinions to make the athletic department and programs better for all student-athletes. It’s fun to hear what all the other sports teams think as well, and I love collaborating with everyone to come up with cool ideas and opportunities for improvements.
What has been one of your favorite SAAC initiatives or activities?
My favorite initiative was our Week of Giving that we hold every single year. It was so rewarding to give back to the community. Also, my favorite activity was the volleyball tournament we put together for the athletes. We all were required to inter-mix sports, and it was so fun playing with all the other athletic teams.
