In 2013, the Student-Athlete Development Center established awards recognizing the outstanding accomplishments of SAAC and SAMs members.
The Pauly - named in honor of former SAAC President and Football player Paul Print for his outstanding contributions to SAAC during his time at SFU. The Pauly is given annually to the outstanding Student-Athlete(s) of the Year in SAAC; as well as the Rookie(s) of the Year in SAAC.
The Jorden McClure Unsung Hero Award was established in 2014 in honor of Jorden McClure, who was added to the Men's Basketball roster as a result of Saint Francis Athletics partnership with Team IMPACT. The Unsung Hero Award recognizes a student-athlete who makes a significant contribution to SAAC while also bringing joy to fellow student-athletes. Hard-working, humble, honest, kind and enthusiastic; this individual serves as an inspiration to SAAC. The award recipient should exhibit leadership as a positive role model.
