Division II—Who We Are:

As division II student-athletes we commit to fair-play and responsibility. The platform for all Division II student-athletes is based on six segments: Learning, Balance, Resourcefulness, Sportsmanship, Passion, and Service. As Division II student-athletes we invest our time and effort into everything we do from the classroom to community involvement and everywhere in between.

Division II National SAAC:

A student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses. Furthermore, SAAC seeks to create positive game environments, positive student-athlete images, and a sense of cohesiveness between Universities and the communities in which they reside through community involvement and volunteer work.
