A redshirt sophomore defender on the men's soccer team, David Newton is also the Promotions & Marketing Director of Clemson's SAAC, as well as a representative to the ACC SAAC. Newton took a few minutes to chat with theACC.com about SAAC's initiatives and his experiences.

What is the overall goal of Clemson's SAAC?
(Our SAAC is) guided by ethics, integrity, fairness and respect for diversity. Taking those things into account, we want to be leaders on the Clemson campus and be the voice for the student-athletes - not only on campus, but in the Clemson community by doing community service work and getting involved in the major decisions that have an impact on our student-athletes. That's what we're all about - that's our job and focus.
