2020-21 Cascade Collegiate Conference SAAC Members Announced
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Twenty-four student athletes representing the Cascade Collegiate Conference’s 12 member schools have been named to the 2020-21 Cascade Collegiate Conference Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), the conference office announced Tuesday.
"As a conference, we are committed to providing the best possible student-athlete experience," stated Commissioner Robert Cashell. "I am excited to work with this group, along with their advisors, in what will no doubt be a very trying year for everyone due to the complexities surrounding COVID-19."
The student representatives were selected by the Athletic Directors on their campus.
In 2013, the conference established the SAAC program with each institution selecting two committed student-athletes to assist the CCC’s efforts in perpetuating a positive student-athlete experience. Committee members must be at least sophomore class status and eligible for competition.
The CCC SAAC serves the following functions:
- Discuss and provide feedback on conference issues affecting student-athlete welfare
- Assist in educating student athletes about CCC/NAIA issues on their home campus
- Increase and improve student-athletes' understanding of the CCC and NAIA legislative process
- Promote student-athlete participation in department-wide Champions of Character programs
- Provide a forum for addressing student-athlete concerns
