What is SAAC?

The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a student organization at Modesto Junior College within the Athletic Department that is solely made up of intercollegiate student-athletes. College advisors facilitate discussions within the topics of leadership, campus engagement, community involvement, and student experience.
