The mission of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is to provide a means of communication between Berea College student-athletes and the administration of the Athletic Department. The intention of this collaboration is to enhance the student-athlete experience on our campus and to protect both the health and well-being of all student-athletes at Berea.Â
To accomplish this mission, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was created in the fall of 2013 to achieve the following purposes:
- To promote communication amongst athletic department personnel, faculty, college administration and student-athletes.
- To promote an understanding of the needs of Berea College student-athletes within the campus community, the conference and our national association.
- To solicit the input of student-athletes regarding proposed campus, conference and national legislation that has an effect on the student-athlete experience.
- To actively promote Berea College athletics to the campus community.
- To create an avenue for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees that discuss issues pertinent to student-athlete well-being both academically and athletically.
The Berea College SAAC will serve as a vehicle for addressing and discussing concerns and issues facing student-athletes. The committee shall represent all student-athletes who participate in intercollegiate athletics. In addition, the committee will promote and celebrate the achievements of our student-athletes.
