UIW gave me the opportunity to become the first person in my family to graduate from college. The friendships that I’ve made at The Nest will last a lifetime. I will always be proud to be a Cardinal!
- Lauren Mancha ’22, Women’s Golf
I came to UIW from the Netherlands, and in many ways, UIW has become my home away from home. Thinking back just four years ago, I could not have imagined a better place to have spent my collegiate years. I will forever be grateful and proud to be a part of this amazing community.

Being a student-athlete at UIW has opened doors to so many amazing opportunities. I grew in my leadership skills through serving as the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee President, participated in the Black Student Athlete Summit on behalf of UIW Athletics and I was able to cultivate life-long professional skills through UIW’s Athletes in Mentorship program. I am fortunate to have met so many great people that invested in me – as an athlete, student, and leader.
- Summer Taylor, Women’s Diving
Being a UIW student-athlete has been an unforgettable experience. I have learned important life skills that extend far beyond the basketball court and prepared me for life after athletics.
