UTEP Miners

 

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
• Disseminate information
• Provide feedback and insight into athletics department issues
• 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
• Solicit student-athlete responses to proposed conference and NCAA legislation
• Organize community service efforts
• Create a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus committees (i.e. Student Government)
• Encourage a positive student-athlete image on campus
• Attend annual summer C-USA In-Person Meeting 
• Assist with Student-Athlete Development Initiatives and Golden Pick Awards
