Sophie Brown - SWAB 2020

I SWAB to work within the community that has given so much to me! The possibility of involvement so early in my college career excited me when joining SWAB, and my innate desire to engage with others, help others, and lead others flourished. Connecting with members of this organization, I instantly felt grounded. I found a group of people who care about kids the way I care about kids. This year, I have the opportunity to serve on the Executive Board for SWAB as Co-Director of First-Year Council, and I can’t wait to help first-year students find their footing at UGA, because I undoubtedly found mine within SWAB. This organization has given me countless friendships, opportunities to interact with children, and reasons to rewatch children’s movies. SWAB has taught me so much about myself and the Athens community, extending far beyond Event Day each year, and we are so excited about our 2020 plans!
