Texas A&M University-Commerce to Host 2010 Lone Star Conference SAAC Retreat

Texas A&M University-Commerce will be host to the 2010 Lone Star Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Retreat, starting on Sunday, July 25th thru Tuesday, July 27th.
 
Student-athlete representatives from each member institution will participate in the annual event. The three-day event is intended to help improve communication amongst the conference SAAC groups and to help energize student-athletes with ideas and “best practices” to be implemented during the upcoming academic year.
 
The focus of this year’s retreat will be “Lone Star leaders: Leaving Our Mark.” A&M-Commerce Associate Athletic Director for Academic Affairs and SAAC advisor Judy Sackfield has been busy planning this annual retreat in collaboration with other components of the A&M-Commerce campus.
 
While at A&M-Commerce, the student-athlete representatives will visit the new ropes course on the A&M-Commerce campus and a leadership workshop hosted by the university’s Center for Applied Leadership.
 
A&M-Commerce Athletic Director Carlton Cooper looks forward to having the student-athlete representatives and their advisors on the campus. “I am thrilled that Texas A&M University-Commerce will host the 2010 Lone Star Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Retreat.  This is an outstanding way to showcase our institution to our fellow conference institutions and to give the student-athletes participating a wonderful experience to grow as leaders and to take the skills learned back to their respective campuses.”
