Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
A student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and polices that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses.

Columbus State University Athletic Department takes great pride in the accomplishments and contributions of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. The purpose of SAAC is to serve as liaisons to athletic administration at Columbus State ensuring student-athletes have a voice in all issues impacting their daily welfare. Secondly, SAAC serves as a leadership group recruiting fellow student-athletes to serve the campus and community through a variety of service programs.

Each CSU intercollegiate team has at least one representative on SAAC who is responsible for attending bi-weekly meetings. The elected team SAAC representative is then responsible for communication with the entire team.
