SAAC on UM Campus

SAAC is a very important part of the University of Memphis Athletic Department because it provides a voice for the student-athletes.  The membership is comprised of representatives from each sport who serve as the governing body of Memphis student-athletes.  SAAC meets once a month and meetings provide many opportunities for student-athletes including the following:

• Communication with administrators and staff from UM campus and the Athletics Department

• NCAA and C-USA legislation voting

• Discussion of issues surrounding the student-athlete

• Assistance in planning CHAMPS/Life Skills events

• Leadership experience
