Sussex Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS SAAC?
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes from all of SCCC's intercollegiate athletic teams. The group is assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience and to offer input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives while attending Sussex. The purpose of the SAAC is to act as a liaison and maintain lines of communication between student-athletes and the athletic administration to advance the interests of all athletic programs at Sussex County Community College, as well as create a better relationship with Sussex Athletics and the community.
Any student-athlete, enrolled full-time can be a SAAC member. At the end of each academic year, each team selects two athletes to serve as SAAC representatives for the following year. Generally, teams are encouraged to select one sophomore and one freshman for their team representatives. (Teams with less than 10 members on the roster need only elect one representative). 2019-2020 SAAC members are listed below:
- Chloe Bellerby
- Olivia Hudson
- Deon Waldmeier
- Enrico Tarquinio
- Dominique Accetta
- Amanda Ross
- Alyssa Aragona
- Miranda Hnyda
- George Mendez
