The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, commonly called SAAC, is a group made up of Tennessee Tech student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience and organize, plan, oversee, and participate in community service activities. The committee offers input to the administration and the conference on rules, regulations, and policies that affect student-athletes. SAAC encourages and facilitates the opportunities for all of Tech's student-athletes to participate in community service projects to promote a positive image of the athletic department. The committee participates in numerous projects, including food, clothing, and toy drives to support the community, the Wounded Warrior Project, Habitat for Humanity, and much more.
Officer Nominations: Student-athletes interested in joining SAAC as a team representative or an officer need to contact Mandy Thatcher at (931) 372-3949.
