As both a student-athlete and a biology major on the premedical track, ACE offers such a special opportunity to immerse oneself in an unfamiliar environment and practice cultural humility and empathy in engaging in service and collaboration with the community. I am most excited to meet and work with fellow student-athletes as well as the GVI community partners to make a lasting impact on the community around us.
Megan’s past experiences with community engagement includes working with inner-city middle school students in an after-school tutoring program, volunteering with Gigi’s Playhouse in Durham to hold play-days with Duke Athletics, and visiting local Durham grade schools in the Reading With Blue Devils program.
