STUDENT-ATHLETE HANDBOOK!
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
Our student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and polices that affect student-athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses. NCAA legislation mandates that all member institutions have SAACs on their campuses. Further, NCAA legislation requires that all member conferences have SAACs.
Division III SAAC Mission Statement
The mission of the NCAA Division III Student-Athlete
Advisory Committee (SAAC) is to enhance the total student-athlete
experience by promoting opportunity for all student-athletes;
protecting student-athlete welfare; and fostering a positive
student-athlete image, while maintaining the tenants of the
Division III philosophy.

Community Service
Community service is one of the most important parts
of a student-athlete's experience at North
Carolina Wesleyan, and we strive to develop
well-rounded citizens who are willing to step in where
help is needed. Each year, our Battling Bishops
are involved in various service projects in and around
the Rocky Mount area. As always, Wesleyan’s service
calendar is highlighted by department-wide initiatives such as the
9/11 Project, P.L.A.Y. (Promoting Literacy Among Youth) and Cans
Across the Conference. Individual squad activities include Dig
Pink (volleyball), Coaches vs. Cancer (basketball), KIX (soccer),
Relay for Life (baseball) and Tennis Shoes 4 Africe (tennis
& cross country), among others.
