STUDENT-ATHLETES OF THE MONTH
Each month, the UW Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) selects its "Student-Athletes of the Month."
These student-athletes are nominated by their coaches and academic advisors based on the following criteria:
• Be academically eligible and in good academic standing
• Have obtained an outstanding achievement or recognition in academics
• Make a significant contribution to their respective team
• Be actively engaged in community service
SAAC members then vote on the winners at the first SAAC meeting of each month. The goal is to have
each sport represented throughout the year. At the end of the year, all of the "Student-Athletes of the Month"
become the nominations for the male and female Student-Athlete of the Year awards, which is awarded at
the Buckinghams.
