BLACK STUDENT-ATHLETE ASSOCIATION
Members of UC's Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) established the Black Student-Athlete Association in September 2020 as one of the group's ongoing #BearcatsUnited initiative. The group is made up of UC student-athletes, coaches and staff and is dedicated to cultivating a community of inclusion, hospitality, and equality of student-athletes representative of the Black, African-American, Caribbean, and of the African Diaspora to enhance their experience as a Bearcat during their time of personal, academic, athletic, and social growth.
