In an effort to highlight the leadership and good works of the student-athletes in the conference, the ACC SAAC began the SAAC in ACCtion initiative to provide on-line articles about the SAAC programs at the league's 12 member institutions. The goal of this initiative is to shed light on the great things our student-athletes are doing to affect significant positive change on campus and in our communities. Every two weeks, the SAAC leaders from a different school will provide a SAAC in ACCtion update on how their program is getting involved. When reading these articles, we hope that it is evident that their efforts to give back result in so much more.

Only two years out of school, Katie works as the Executive Assistant to the Senior Vice President of Apparel at Under Armour.
		SAAC in ACCtion: Finding Your Way   11/4/09   Becky Megesi was one of the top cross-country/track recruits coming out of high school. While many high school seniors are itching to pick a college that's far away from home, Megesi saw something in what Georgia Tech had to offer that convinced her to stay close to her Jonesboro, Ga. home, and compete in the ACC. Her decision proved to lay the foundation to a path that would go much further than just her 4-year commitment to Georgia Tech.
		SAAC in ACCtion: Striving for More   10/21/09   Former Florida State University track and field thrower Garrett Johnson had a more than storied career during his tenure at FSU. His is the ultimate example of taking advantage of the opportunities presented, and striving for even more. It's difficult to pick a good starting point when discussing Garrett's path to Washington, D.C., and his current position as Professional Staff to the Ranking Member with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
