Explorers For Life is La Salle Athletics commitment to the lifelong success of our student-athletes—on the field, in the classroom, and beyond.
Rooted in Lasallian values, we empower Explorers to reach their full potential through personal development, leadership growth, career readiness, and lasting connection. From recruitment to life after graduation, our mission is to guide student-athletes as they discover who they are, define what they stand for, and prepare to make an impact that extends far beyond competition.
Through tailored programming, mentorship, and engagement with alumni and community partners, Explorers For Life helps every student-athlete build the skills, confidence, and network to thrive long after their playing days are done.
Because once an Explorer, always an Explorer — for life.

SAAC
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.
The purpose of SAAC is to provide a transformational experience for student-athletes, by promoting opportunity, enhancing sportsmanship, and fostering a positive student-athlete image.
