DAVENPORT UNIVERSITY PANTHERS

The Purpose of SAAC

The purpose of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to act as a liaison and maintain lines of communication between student-athletes, coaches, and the athletic department to advance the interests of the student-athlete population and promote growth and education through sports participation. Each athletic team is represented on Davenport’s SAAC.  As a student-athlete, there are opportunities to talk to a representative of SAAC about issues and concerns affecting you and other student-athletes at Davenport University on both a local and national scale. It also enables student-athletes to provide recommendations for the improvement of academic, athletic, and social experiences.

 

Goals of SAAC

Davenport’s SAAC has adopted the following goals:

  1. Serve as a student-athlete voice within the athletic department

  2. Promote, support, and improve the overall mission of the Davenport University’s athletic department

  3. Make recommendations to the Director of Athletics for improvement of the student-athletes’ academic, athletic, and social experiences

  4. Encourage unity, common purpose, and camaraderie between teams and athletes
