Longwood Athletics

The student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience and to offer input on the rules, regulations, and policies that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

The Longwood University SAAC is led by a six-member elected executive board. The SAAC includes two student-athletes from each team, and some teams may have three representatives if one of the two serves on the executive board.

Functions of the Longwood University SAAC:
-  Promote communication between athletics administration and student-athletes
-  Disseminate information
-  Provide feedback and insight into athletics department issues
-  Generate a student-athlete voice within the campus athletics department formulation of policies
-  Build a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams
-  Solicit student-athlete responses to proposed conference and NCAA legislation
-  Organize community service efforts
-  Create a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees (e.g. student government)
-  Promote a positive student-athlete image on campus
