Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)
SAAC serves as the governing body for UTEP student-athletes. The committee is comprised of representatives from all sports and meets twice a month throughout the academic year. The role of each member is to represent their team in terms of communicating information to the administrative staff/coaches as well as assisting with planning of events/initiatives and communicating those events with their teammates.
Functions of the UTEP SAAC:
- Promote communication between athletics administration and student-athletes

- Generate a student-athlete voice within the campus and athletic department on formulation of policies
- Build a sense of community within the athletics program involving all sports and administration

- Organize community service efforts
- Create a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus committees (i.e. Student Government)
