 Nikki Erken (Class of 2018) was back on campus as part of the UNIS New York team of the UNIS New York-Hanoi Student Exchange Programme. During her time back, Nikki was thrilled to be able to join her former Service Learning group Swim For Life again.
 Adrienne Michetti (Alumni Faculty) completed the Discovery Triathlon of the Metasprint Series in East Coast Park, Singapore. Metasprint Series' Triathlon is the biggest multi-sport event in Singapore that is designed to offer an exciting challenge convert recreational swimmers, cyclists and runners to triathletes. Adrienne shared, "I didn't believe I could learn to be a fit person. It took many, many hours, days, and months of work - mental, psychological work - to begin the healing I needed... I had to teach myself that I was worth it and, that it was possible. It was not an easy journey. And even today, after having done this, I feel like I've barely begun... But I at least feel like I'm "good enough" for me, and that I CAN learn to be better, and that's really all that matters. Self-work is the hardest work, but it's also the most important work."
