The Student Athlete-Advisory Committee has named the officers and president for the 2013-2014 athletic year.

The group selected represents various athletic teams.

Jon Fisher (Football) has been selected as president of the committee. Adam McCleary (Men’s Golf) will serve as co vice-president alongside Christina Gray (Women’s Basketball). Other officers include Mackenzie Miller (Softball) and Ines Fendt (Women’s Golf).

The committee is made of 30 representatives that represent each individual athletic team.

Mike Anderson is the committee’s Counselor and Life Skills Coordinator.

“I am extremely excited about our newly appointed SAAC officers,” said Anderson. “All of them are exceedingly dedicated on the field and in the classroom and are truly passionate about making ULM a great place to be.”

The goal of S.A.A.C. is to “bring about positive change at the institutional and NCAA Div-1 athletic level”.

The committee also helps with rules, regulations and policies that impact the lives of student-athletes.

Members of the organization are required to do a variety of things. Some of the things that they do include sponsoring community service initiatives and organizing student-athlete events.

“We appointed five outstanding members to lead this organization and with that leadership, SAAC will look to accomplish a number of projects and services this year both on campus and in the Monroe (LA) community,” Anderson said.

They also assist in the general well being of the student-athletes.
