Hobart Student-Athlete
Founded in 1979, the Hobart Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is comprised of student-athletes from each of the 11 Hobart College varsity teams. Council members are selected by their respective head coach and the director of Hobart athletics.

The SAAC serves the student-athletes of Hobart College with the objective of strengthening the value of athletics as an integral part of each student-athlete's educational experience. Among the important ways in which the committee represents Hobart student-athletes are:
 
  • By soliciting student-athlete input on athletics related programs
  • By generating a student-athlete voice within the department
  • By disseminating information to team members
  • By creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus committees
  • By organizing educational programs and other community service efforts
  • By providing the leadership for maintaining and implementing the Hobart Athletic Code of Conduct
  • By providing input on content and schedule for the Napier Leadership Seminar and by taking a leadership role in the Seminar

The SAAC includes the director of athletics and a member of the coaching staff. Meetings are normally held biweekly each
semester. The dean of the college, the NCAA faculty athletics representative, head coaches, and the Committee on Athletics are included in the committee's work. Effective communication with these members of the community and especially with team members is essential for the SAAC to best serve the interests of the student-athletes and to enhance the value of intercollegiate athletics and its rich tradition at Hobart College.
