Hailey Shevitz Recognized for Outstanding Global Engagement in the Class of 2026
Recent grad Hailey Shevitz is featured on the International Division’s list of Outstanding Global Engagement students for the class of 2026.

During my time here and through my study abroad experience, my IS major gave me the opportunity to explore how culture shapes the way we connect, communicate, and understand the world around us. It pushed me to step outside of my comfort zone, embrace new perspectives, and better understand the communities around us. Along the way, I discovered how powerful sports can be in bringing people together across cultures, something that defined my experience as a Badger and shaped my future goals.
