Cyclone Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is comprised of representatives from each team, with the following purposes in mind:
- To provide student-athletes opportunities to more effectively communicate with the Iowa State University athletics department administration, coaches, and staff.
- To enable student-athletes to provide recommendations for the improvement of student-athlete academic, athletic, and social experiences.
- To actively encourage involvement of student-athletes in campus and community outreach.
- To design and implement programs encouraging academic achievement, health promotion, social responsibility, and career preparation.
- To encourage unity, common purpose, and camaraderie between teams and among all student-athletes.
SAAC is led by an executive board which sets the agenda for each meeting and guides the direction of their elected committees. Meetings are held twice a month and cover topics pertinent to student-athlete wellbeing, institutional and conference policy, campus resources, and service opportunities. This organization serves as the voice for all Cyclone student-athletes, and team representatives are responsible for relaying important information back to their teams.
