Student Athlete Advisory Committee

The Bard College Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is composed of student athlete representatives from the fifteen varsity programs sponsored by the College. The College's Faculty Athletics Representative, a member of the coaching staff, and an athletics advisor are also members of the SAAC. Each member serves as a liaison between the committee and his/her team. Membership on this committee is a responsibility. Dedication and participation are necessary to maintain membership. The length or term of membership is for the duration of the student athlete's eligibility.
