#SUMMERSPOTLIGHT 💎☀️

Our next summer spotlight is on rising senior, and our Next Steps Liaison, Caitie Cushing (AC ‘20) who spent the past few weeks as an intern with AccesSurf for the service trip component of the Peabody Scholars Honors Program! In her role, she got to help host the international Hawai’i Adaptive Surfing Championships where she worked primarily as the food manager for the event, but also helped with setting/cleaning up the event site and promoting the non-profit’s mission to sponsors.

We are so lucky to have someone as passionate as Caitie to help us bridge the gap between Greek Life and Next Steps on Vanderbilt’s campus! Hear from her about what this experience meant to her as a future special educator 🥰

“Besides working on an incredibly beautiful and accessible beach site, my favorite part of the days were the interactions I had with other volunteers, sponsors, and of course the athletes themselves. I will cherish getting to meet people from all across the world who united at this event with the common goal of increasing accessibility and inclusion in professional sports. As a special educator, these are virtues I hold closely to my heart, and this experience grew my passion even more than I thought was possible. Mahalo to AccesSurf for allowing me to join their mission of creating an ocean of possibilities for all!”
