SAAC Overview
 

The Department of Student-Athlete Success houses our Life After Ball program; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging; NIL Education; Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and Community Service.
 

Mission Statement:

The Department of Student-Athlete Success’ core mission is to provide athletes with a clear path to success once their competition days are over. Our athletes will benefit from leadership opportunities, personal growth and educational seminars, and career preparation services from the moment they step on campus. The collaboration with our alumni network as well as our location in the city of Dallas enhance the access to opportunity both during their athletic careers and after.
