  Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)

Hello,

Welcome to the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) website for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC)! SAAC has been designed to give each student-athlete the opportunity to express their individual voice in order to enhance their experience on campus and in the ACC. Student-athletes involved in SAAC are providing input on NCAA legislation while planning, organizing, and implementing community service projects, social events, fundraisers, etc. Student-athletes are joining together to make a difference within their college, their community, their conference, all the way up to the NCAA.

I encourage you to check out the SAAC websites of each college in the ACC. The abilities of these athletes far exceed their performance on the field in sport. They are using their gifts, talents, and interests to make positive changes for the generations to come.

Not every student-athlete will go on to become a professional in their sport. However, I do believe every student-athlete possesses the qualities and abilities to be successful in whatever they choose to put their hearts and minds into. Throughout the year, look forward to reading articles of current or former SAAC student-athletes who have entered into the workforce, outside of playing a professional sport. These articles can be viewed by following the "SAAC in ACCtion" link.

Please contact Eric Wood, the ACC staff liaison, or myself, Brittany Viola, if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions! Thank you for visiting the ACC SAAC website and we look forward to your return.

~Brittany Viola, ACC SAAC Chair

Katie Princiotto always knew that upon graduating she wanted to be involved in athletics, but she never imagined that her ties as a Maryland student-athlete would help her land her dream job. Only two years out of school, Katie works as the Executive Assistant to the Senior Vice President of Apparel at Under Armour.
