The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is composed of current Panther student-athletes assembled in order to provide insight into the student-athlete experience by promoting, fostering, designing and implementing programs that encourage academic achievement, professional development, health-conscious life choices and social responsibility. The UWM SAAC is committed to the following initiatives:
The UMW Panther SAAC is dedicated to the successful design and implementation of a comprehensive CHAMPS Life Skills Program that offers educational services and assists in the professional and personal development of all student-athletes. The UWM Panther SAAC promotes a philosophy of individual responsibility that encourages each student-athlete to value their own educational experience. The UWM SAAC fosters opportunities for academic, athletic and personal development, which in turn promotes growth through responsible decision-making and future planning directed toward the fulfillment of life and career goals.
