Barnett Honored with ACC Unite Award

Barnett Honored with ACC Unite Award
CSC Citizen Leaders Fellow, Hailey Barnett, has just been awarded the ACC Unite Award for 2022 created to honor individuals affiliated with the league who promote and encourage racial equity and social justice through education, partnerships, engagement and advocacy.
 
Those selected have helped create meaningful, lasting change by improving systems, organizational structures, policies, practices and attitudes or have been pioneers and/or helped pave the way for minorities either at the institution or in the community.
 
The Citizen Leaders and Sports Ethics Community Impact Fellowship, a partnership with Virginia Athletics, offers UVA student-athletes an opportunity to develop the kind of personal and professional skills they’ll need to flourish in their lives after UVA.
 
At the same time it empowers them to address the unique issues facing fellow student-athletes, particularly the strain of balancing competitive sports pressures with academic responsibilities and social and emotional well-being.
