Cornell University Athletics

The Cornell University Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), established in 1995, is comprised of two team members from each of our 36 teams. The Student-Athlete Advisory Council has a threefold purpose. First, SAAC serves as an active communications link between the student-athletes and the athletics administration. Second, SAAC is charged with encouraging unity, common purpose, and camaraderie among teams and all student-athletes in the department. Third, SAAC seeks to promote and support athletics on the community, state and national levels. Member of SAAC are able to develop leadership skills among their peers and across campus. Student-athletes also actively participate in departmental, educational and special events. The SAAC advisor is Chris Wlosinski.
