The UND Student-Athlete
Advisory Council (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes from
each sport, assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience;
to offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes'
lives on the University of North Dakota campus; encourage student-athletes
to engage in community service to the Grand Forks Area; and provide
opportunities for UND Student-Athletes with yearly activities to promote
camaraderie within the Athletic Department.
An Association-wide
SAAC was adopted by legislation approved at the 1989 NCAA Convention,
and was formed primarily to review and offer student-athlete input on
NCAA activities and proposed legislation that affected student-athletes.
