The Nova Southeastern University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (NSU-SAAC) is made up of two members from each athletic team and one alternate. The mission of the NSU-SAAC is to enhance the total experience by promoting opportunity for all student-athletes, protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student athlete image.
The goals of NSU-SAAC include:
- Indentifying issues and initiatives affecting Division II institutions
- Education other conference and campus Student-Athlete Advisory Committees
- Reviewing and responding to issues raised by other committees on campus
- Reviewing and responding to proposed NCAA legislation
- Participating in the Division II legislation process through involvement in the annual convention
- Participating in the annual summit with Division II Management Council
- Holding bi-weekly meetings, open to all representatives, coaches and athletic faculty

The NSU-SAAC has been involved with and continues to work with the Make-A-Wish foundation by hosting specific SAAC sponsored Make-A-Wish sporting events as well as continuously raising and donating money for the organization throughout the academic year. NSU-SAAC's future initiatives involved community service work with the Davie Police Athletic League (PAL) program, Tomorrow's Rainbow organization and Habitat for Humanity.
