Sarah Mendenhall Q&A l Max Schwegman Q&A l Allison Glossinger Q&A
During the summer of 2016, seven Princeton student-athletes were selected to travel to the Hau Giang Province in southern Vietnam to volunteer for Coach for College, a global initiative aimed at promoting higher education through sports.
These student-athletes taught academics, sports and life skills over the course of three weeks to disadvantaged youth at various Secondary Schools. The Princeton Varsity Club provided funding for the majority of the necessary expenses associated with the charitable service trip, with the remainder of the funds being raised by the individual participants.
"I have really come to a deeper understanding of myself and my values as a result of my participation in Coach for College, and I really hope I will have the opportunity to return as a director in one of the next two summers," says Max Schwegman, a rising junior on the men's track and field team "I feel more aware of what's going on in the world around me, and I have learned how to cautiously but with charisma embrace and learn the ways of another culture — which I consider to be invaluable."
