The Team reposted this
This year, I was one of 25 student-athletes chosen from across the nation to be a part of the 2023-2024 Engaged Athlete Fellowship with The Team, which empowers a diverse class of motivated student athletes to strengthen nonpartisan civic participation on their teams, their campuses, and their broader communities. Through this program, I developed and executed a year-long project linking civic engagement with athletics. I helped the wonderful Lily O'Donoghue-McDonald and Harvard Votes Challenge with some tabling events to get students and athletes registered to vote and also illuminated the possibilities of careers in the public sector for Harvard student-athletes. The fellowship culminated last week at the Engaged Athlete Forum, held at the Microsoft Innovation Center and Policy Center in Washington, DC, which provided us with the opportunity to present our projects to leaders from business, sports, and political advocacy sectors, and to gain valuable insights from their experiences through panel discussions. My biggest inspiration from the week was seeing all of the amazing student-athletes from across the country passionate about the work and making connections that will last a lifetime. Thanks again to Joe Kennedy Elizabeth Ford and Hannah Nusbaum for making this possible and of course Spencer Baird for being an awesome roommate.
