PREAMBLE
We, the members of The Citadel Cadet-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), make it our mission to enhance the total cadet-athlete experience and bridge the gap between our institution's athletes and its community.
 
MISSION

• Creating a voice for the cadet-athletes of The Citadel within our institution, the Southern Conference, and the NCAA;
• Soliciting cadet-athlete input on various programs which involve cadet-athletes such as academic counseling, peer tutoring, and community service projects;
• Promoting a positive cadet-athlete image;
• Enhancing the total cadet-athlete experience;
• Connecting cadet-athletes with their community through various community service projects.

The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a group of cadet-athlete leaders who serve the Institution by representing the concerns of the cadet-athlete population to The Citadel’s Athletic Leadership Team, the Southern Conference SAAC, and the NCAA through the national SAAC. SAAC is also a committed community engagement organization that participates in various projects and initiatives throughout the year.  Our SAAC advisors will select deserving cadet-athletes to attend the Southern Conference Student-Athlete Leadership Institute (SALI) and the Southern Conference Winter SAAC Meeting.
