Hope "Elliott" Van Nice

I am currently attending and playing lacrosse at Washington and Lee University, where I plan to double major in strategic communication and spanish and minor in entrepreneurship. I want to study marketing to become a strategic thinker and a valuable asset in shaping the success of organizations in the fast-paced business world. During the global pandemic, my brother and I started a non-profit organization called Play4 to give youth sports teams the equipment they needed to play their game. I was able to give back to my surrounding communities by creating t-shirts to raise money to purchase soccer balls, football cleats, and jerseys for local middle schools. In other words, we Played4 things that matter. I believe in the power of sport to build a better future for our generation and am eager to continue to lead and grow organizations.
