The student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses. Each UCI team elects two representatives to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. This Committee meets three times a quarter with the Assistant Athletic Director –Academics & Student Services, Dedra Butler and other representatives from the Athletics Department (Senior Management, Compliance, Faculty and Campus Staff, etc…) to discuss matters that are relevant to the student-athletes overall experience on and of campus. The Committee also acts as a liaison between student-athletes and the Associated Student Body (ASUCI). In addition, student-athletes have the opportunity to gain leadership experience while serving on various subcommittees which including outreach, faculty/staff relations, social event planning and more. If you are interested in learning more about the national SAAC organization, then please visit the following link for theÂ
