More than 400 local youth participated in lacrosse, soccer and volleyball camps during one week in early June at IWU. For the second year in a row, former Titan volleyball standout Alex Hill ’13 served as an assistant in the girls’ volleyball camp.

“As a player, I didn’t consider becoming a coach or teaching,” said Hill, who majored in business.

“It’s so fun to be back at IWU doing something I absolutely love.”

Hill will enter graduate school this fall to pursue a master’s degree in education with plans to teach and continue coaching.
Best of luck, Alex!
