How Nola Built Me – Haydyn Gibson
Jul 29, 2019 | General, Women's Golf
As my senior year slowly approaches, I can't help but think of the great opportunities Tulane University has given me. Through my challenging classes, working closely with other student-athletes and traveling the globe playing golf, I have been introduced to a whole new world.
Tulane has not only shaped me as a student-athlete, but also as a person. The University ingrains public service into their curriculum. This requirement introduced me to a local organization called Caps For Kids.
This organization donates autographed caps to children battling cancer. Each year, they send and receive thousands of caps. Caps For Kids impacts me every day as I am reminded of my father's fight against cancer.
Knowing how rigorous the battle against cancer can be, I am motivated to help Caps For Kids reach more children and hope to make a difference in their lives.
My involvement with Caps For Kids and other organizations on campus have prepared me to lead our Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for the second year in a row. Being the president of such a great organization means so much as I hope to better the lives of Tulane's student-athletes.
Through SAAC, I have interacted with other schools in our conference and worked to truly listen to my peers. Focusing on improving mental health awareness throughout our university has been a large focus of SAAC.
I am proud to be on a committee that recognizes the critical impact mental health has on college students. SAAC gives student-athletes a voice and an opportunity to pave the way for future generations of Tulane student-athletes.
Attending Tulane is so much more than simply going to college. Instead of just becoming a better student-athlete or graduating with the highest G.P.A., Tulane teaches you the capability we have to make a difference.
I never imagined the difference Tulane would have on every aspect of my life. Each day I am thankful for the opportunity to attend such a great university. I've become so much more than a student-athlete at Tulane.
I have become NOLA built and ready to face what the world brings next.
