Allegheny SAAC Constitution

Purpose from Constitution
The Allegheny College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) strives to maintain the quality of, and whenever feasible, improve upon the educational, athletic, and social aspects of the student-athlete's life. The committee further serves to ensure effective communication between Allegheny student-athletes, administration and faculty. The committee will strive to promote healthy, working relationships within the college community and among the City of Meadville, the PAC, the NCAC, and the NCAA. Finally, the committee will endeavor to organize and coordinate programs to enhance attendance at all athletic competitions and foster an atmosphere that promotes good sportsmanship and cooperation between Allegheny's 23 varsity intercollegiate athletic teams.

Representation
Each of our 23 varsity intercollegiate athletic teams is requested to have two representatives present at each of our meetings to give input on issues and topics that arise. More participants from each team are welcome, however, only two will have the vote when necessary. While it works best if the same students are present at each meeting, team representation is critical to our discussions and it is the goal to have students find replacements when they have conflict.
