ABOUT GCU SAAC |
The Grand Canyon University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is composed of two representatives from each NCAA Division I school-sponsored team. These individuals are selected by their coach and serve as the collective voice of the student-athletes. They provide input and feedback on the overall experience of student-athletes at GCU, and they have the unique leadership opportunity to serve as the liaison between their teams, athletic administration, the WAC, and the NCAA.
The mission of the GCU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by fostering a positive image, developing personal skills, and promoting opportunities for success. GCU SAAC is committed to assisting student-athletes who strive to achieve their academic, personal, professional, and spiritual goals.
