Hounds student-athletes involved in the community again . . .
WORCESTER, Mass. --- The Assumption College
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and the women’s swimming
and diving team were part of the “Rebuilding Together
Worcester” this past weekend.
Rebuilding Together Worcester is a volunteer
organization that forms partnerships with corporations, individuals
and other organizations committed to improving the community by
rehabilitating the houses of low-income homeowners, particularly
the elderly, disabled and families with children. In
addition, it helps to rehabilitate non-profit facilities such as
community centers and shelters.
The mission of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association Student Athlete Advisory Committee is to enhance the
total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity,
protecting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student
athlete image. A student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is
a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide
insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers
input on the rules, regulations and polices that affect student
athletes' lives on NCAA member institution campuses.
More than 200 volunteers worked on nine
projects with RTW renovating eight homes of low-income homeowners
and painting hallways at Doherty Memorial High School. The
organization helps low-income people, including the elderly and the
disabled.
