STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC)
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a student-athlete led and organized committee that unifies as the voice of Jacksonville State University student-athletes. SAAC builds a sense of community within the athletic program involving all athletic teams and promotes a positive student-athlete image on Jax State campus. Student-athletes can:
- Network with student athletes outside of their designated sport
- Volunteer and make a change in the community and on JSU campus

- Gather career-relevant experiences to use on a resume and make professional networks
