Recent Guilford SAAC activities include a canned-food drive, and the start of a new program, Champs Life Skills. The Champs Life Skills program promotes intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student body. Its seeks to increase student-athletes’ community involvement, and to engage the Guilford community with the athletic department.
