Sub-Committees
Fundraising: Organize events to raise money for the Nichols College Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Funds are used to support SAAC, allowing for contests, prizes, and giveaways during all Nichols College athletic events.

Bison Benevolence
On November 16th, the Nichols College football team, accompanied by Head Coach Bill Carven,
Assistant Coach and SAAC Supervisor Matt Chapman and Assistant Coach Andrew Croteau, visited Shriners Hospital for Children in Springfield, Ma.  The players and coaches brought high spirits to Shiners’ patients. The Nichols College football team continues to depict the compassion and generosity of our student-athletes through their endless commitment to their community. 

Student-Athlete Acts of Kindness
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee is in the process of organizing a Toys for Tots drive as we approach the holiday season. Each student-athlete has been asked to donate $1 which SAAC members will use to purchase toys for less fortunate children.


Events
Bison Madness was a success! Thank you to all who helped in facilitating the event. Look for more upcoming events throughout the Spring 2008 semester.
