The WMU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is composed of appointed representatives from each team and meets regularly with athletic administrators to discuss any pertinent issues concerning student-athletes. Members of the SAAC have the opportunity to address issues affecting student-athletes at WMU and to offer input on issues that may be national in scope. The SAAC may also serve as a channel of communication among student-athletes, coaches, and athletic administrators on issues to improve the student-athlete experience and promote growth and education through sports participation.
Specifically, the functions of the SAAC include:
1. Promote communication between athletic administration and student-athletes.
2. Disseminate information.
3. Provide feedback and insight into Department of Athletics issues.
4. Generate a student-athlete's voice within the Department of Athletics.
5. Provide student-athletes input on Department of Athletics policies.
6. Build a sense of community between teams within the athletic department.
7. Provide student-athlete input on proposed conference and NCAA legislation.
8. Organize community service efforts.
9. Create a vehicle for student-athlete input on campus issues.
10. Promote a positive student-athlete image on campus.
