Hygiene Accessibility Drive – University of Maryland Athletics

This initiative garnered praise from Lonnie Mulligan, Big Ten Diversity Fellow and SAAC Advisor. She highlighted the power of the group’s collaboration. 

“As the co-advisor of SAAC, it’s beautiful to see students come together to make a greater impact,” Mulligan said. “When different student groups and programs collaborate, they can reach a wider audience, increase resources, and create lasting change, demonstrating the power of teamwork in broadening the scope of community efforts.”

Similarly, Adaeze Alaeze, Program Director of Student-Athlete Career Development, emphasized the significance of the Gossett Fellows’ action project. 

“The Gossett Fellows program’s implementation of the action project has been one of the most impactful additions to this program thus far,” Alaeze said. “I am so proud of this group for raising over $1,100 to support and build hygiene kits for local elementary students. Their impact is going to make a huge difference in someone’s life, and I think that is the true essence of being a part of a community.”
