Members of St. Lawrence's Student Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) made a donation on behalf of the University's athletes to Canton's Church and Community Workers fund for the holidays. Shown in the above photo are, from left, SAAC Co-Chair Liz Masterson, Steamboat Springs, CO; Shari Wilcox, of the Church and Community Workers Program; and SAAC Co-Chair Colin FitzRandolph, Canton, NY. Members of the SAAC asked each student on their respective teams to make a donation of $2 to this year's fund; Masterson and FitzRandolph presented a gift of $1,250 as a result of the effort, over $300 more than the organization made to the program in 2003.

Established in 1995-96, the SAAC is made up of representatives from each of St. Lawrence's 32 intercollegiate athletic teams. The mission of the SAAC is to enhance the student-athlete experience through communication and opportunities in athletics. Representatives are responsible for representing the interests of their respective teams and acting as student-athlete liaisons to the athletic administration and the administration of the University as a whole.
