"First, I would like to say thank you to the 2019-2020 BU SAAC executive board for their hard work and dedication in leading their peers," said BU senior associate director of athletics Kristie Bowers. "The 2020-2021 BU SAAC executive board takes another step forward in our goal of department-wide leadership from our student-athletes. The expansion of the board this year allows for an excellent, diverse group of student-athlete leaders across our teams, best reflecting our Terrier athletics community."
The executive board is voted on by the BU SAAC members with each team having at least two representatives in SAAC.
"We are very excited to work with the 2020-2021 SAAC executive board next year," said BU director of leadership and career development Emily Howard.
