The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a student-athlete organization representing all 21 NCAA Division I teams at Quinnipiac. At its core, SAAC is the bridge between the greater student-athlete population and athletics administration. Our mission expands much broader: we invest in each other because we are part of something bigger than ourselves. We are committed to leading and setting the standard for each other and being the catalysts of change for Quinnipiac Athletics, not only for ourselves but with our future Bobcats in mind. SAAC is at the forefront of enhancing the student-athlete experience and, most importantly, creating connections between all student-athletes.

"We are extremely grateful for this opportunity to collaborate with our E-Board and this ambitious group of student-athlete representatives," said SAAC Co-Presidents Hailey Tolson & Elise Barricelli. "Matt is a joy to work with, and we look forward to seeing the athletic program flourish during 2024-25. This year will be one for the books!"
