Mission Statement

The Wheelock College SAAC is composed of representatives from each varsity sport and is administered by the Associate Director of Athletics. In accordance with the NCAA, the mission of SAAC is "to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image." The committee meets every three weeks throughout the year.

 

Purpose of the Wheelock College SAAC Program

  • We serve as a liaison between the members of each athletic team and the college's staff.
  • We provide feedback and insight into issues within the Wheelock College athletic department.
  • We create a voice for the student athletes.
  • We positively represent the image of a student athlete.
  • We distribute information about the changes of any policies that impact the student athletes.
  • We organize events that enhance a sense of community. These community events can be focused on improving bonds within our own college family or can include students reaching out to help others in the Boston area.

 

Goals for our 2009-2010 School Year

  • Create more opportunities for student athletes to volunteer within the greater community.
  • Establish a page on the Wheelock Wildcat's website that is dedicated to spreading awareness of SAAC and its mission.
  • Be a powerful voice for all of the students on campus.
