ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Abbie utilized her platform to interview various student-athletes on the Georgetown campus as part of her "Highlighting the Hilltop" series. In these videos, the student-athletes participated in discussion about the importance of civic engagement and how they can use their platform to inspire change. Furthermore, each unique interviewee displayed their sport and taught the basics--this ensured an engaging experience that was both informative and interactive.

Highlighting the Hilltop provides a platform for athletes who are actively engaged with their communities to reflect on and share their experiences. These interviews help bridge the gap between action and awareness, inspiring other athletes to get involved and make a difference in their own communities.

ABBIE'S WHY

Being an Engaged Athlete Fellow allows me to merge my passion for athletics with my commitment to creating a positive social impact. Coming from a small town where community was highly valued, I’ve always believed in the power of connection and service. As an athlete, I understand the unique platform we have to inspire change and engage with our communities. This fellowship provides an opportunity to amplify the voices of student-athletes and contribute to initiatives that align with my values, both on and off the Track.
