The Juniata College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a passionate group of student-athlete representatives from each of the Varsity sport teams at Juniata College. The purpose of the SAAC is to represent the interests of student-athletes and provide a bridge between student-athletes and the greater Juniata community by:
-serving as the voice of student-athletes in conversations with the athletic department, administration, and others across campus
-organizing opportunities for community outreach both on campus and in the greater Huntingdon area and encouraging student-athlete participation in those activities
-creating a unified atmosphere throughout Juniata Athletics where athletes support athletes, and
-increasing awareness of service and leadership opportunities among student-athletes.
