Students at Tech deal with challenges everyday, from studying for the next exam to connecting with friends, but student-athletes face those same challenges while also balancing a practice schedule and navigating the fast-changing environment of collegiate sports. The Georgia Tech Student-Athlete Advisory Board (GTSAAB) looks to represent athletes at Tech while also developing them as people. The purpose of the board is best described by the mission statement on GTSAAB’s website: “Our mission is to enrich the lives of student-athletes through collaboration, communication and creative implementation.”
GTSAAB has 36 student-athlete members, typically two representatives for each sports team.
