Vermont Student-Athlete Advisory Council

The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) serves to provide a voice to all student-athletes at the University of Vermont. Working as a liaison between the student-athlete body and the athletic department's administration, the council meets bi-weekly to discuss and collaborate on ideas, events, and initiatives in order to actively work on improving the overall student-athlete experience.



Mission Statement
The University of Vermont Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is committed to providing  voice to all student-athletes as well as actively working to combat discrepancies and improve the overall student-athlete experience. With diversity and inclusion, as well as gender equity, at the forefront of our efforts, SAAC exists to promote and express student-athlete values to the rest of the UVM Athletic Department as well as the Burlington Community.
