SAAC Mission Statement
The UC Santa Barbara Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) includes representation from all ICA Sports Programs. SAAC meets once a month during the academic year. The group engages in discussion and action in areas impacting student-athlete experience including but not exclusive to current and proposed conference and NCAA legislation, fostering an inclusive student-athlete environment, concerns regarding athletic and academic time requirements, sportsmanship, and provides an opportunity for community outreach and service.
By doing so, we hope to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, service, student-athlete welfare, and a positive image. We also strive to build a sense of community within the athletics program by involving all athletic teams in a variety of activities that help us positively represent the UC Santa Barbara and the greater Santa Barbara community.
