ABOUT THIS PROJECT

My project focused on raising awareness about water safety in and around Lake Michigan by partnering with the YMCA during Water Safety Month in May. We hosted a CPR clinic and shared potentially lifesaving information with the community as the summer months approached. This initiative aimed to equip people with essential skills and knowledge to prevent water-related accidents and promote safety.

SYDNEY'S WHY

I am participating in the Engaged Athlete Fellowship to leverage my platform as a student-athlete and give back to the community that has provided me with incredible opportunities and guidance - both on and off campus. Being an Engaged Athlete Fellow means using my voice and leadership to foster meaningful connections, advocate for important causes, and inspire positive change. This fellowship allows me to engage deeply with my peers and the broader community, creating a lasting impact beyond athletics.
