Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
About SAAC
A Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight into the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations, and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on the Utah State University Eastern campus.
Utah State Eastern SAAC actively builds bridges between student-athletes, faculty, staff, and the broader student body, while also engaging deeply with our community through service, outreach, and partnership. We strive to cultivate a culture of camaraderie across teams that values support, accountability, and shared success both in competition and in the classroom.
The Utah State Eastern SAAC includes representatives from 11 intercollegiate athletics programs. Utah State Eastern SAAC provides a student-athlete voice for the University.
