The Mercyhurst College Student Athletic Advisory Board is dedicated to the athletic and academic advancement of all student-athletes. Mercyhurst College SAAB provides a forum for the discussion of student-athlete concerns and a channel of communication to the administrators through which these concerns can be heard. 

The Mercyhurst College SAAB will use the power of organization to promote not only the college's athletic teams but also help promote unity and good sportsmanship in the college community and the Erie community in general. SAAB creates an environment in which all varsity sports are represented equally. Mercyhurst College SAAB strives for student-athlete awareness on the Mercyhurst Campus.
