UNE SAAC

The University of New England Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is comprised of team representatives from all of UNE's 18 varsity sports. As leaders on our teams, we serve as a voice for UNE's student-athletes within the athletic department, campus community, Commonwealth Coast Conference, and NCAA. We also serve the community through a number of events during the academic year. You can check out our upcoming events below, and please do not hesitate to reach out to our officers for more details or information on getting involved!
