Mission Statement
As the Student Athletic Advisory Council for Endicott College, it is our mission to assist in the creation of an environment where all student-athletes have the opportunity to maximize their academic, personal and social growth. It is our desire to help build a strong tradition in athletics and strive for success in and outside the lines. As members of the SAAC, we must serve as a liaison between the committee and our respective teams. To fulfill our mission we must:
• Provide a forum for discussion of matters of concern for athletic teams.
• Discuss, adopt and carry out procedures necessary for the general welfare of Endicott athletics.
• Promote better communication and camaraderie among teams.
• Promote effective communication between athletics, administration and the student-athletes to better serve their needs.
• Increase awareness of athletic programs on the campus and in the surrounding community.
• Encourage involvement of student-athletes in community and campus life.
• Serve as a liaison between the Commonwealth Coast Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Joining Teevens on the board as vice president will be junior Meg Donegan who is a member of the softball team.

Summing up the board will be two utilities officers, senior Travis Netherton who is a co-captain of the men’s volleyball team and sophomore Siena Tansey of the field hockey team.
Coach Cipolla and Coach DeShaw are both very excited to implement these five student athlete’s ideas and work ethic into the group. “These students are going to do really well with these new leadership roles. They have been key contributors to our group in years past and are ready to take the reins” said Cipolla.
SAAC is excited to start off the new school year and get to work with the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) and on campus to be the voice for the student athletes.
