EVANSTON, Ill. – The David G. Kabiller NU for Life Program has announced six sophomore student-athletes as recipients of the 2022 Immersion, Mentorship and Actualization Program (I-MAP) Award.
The 2022 I-MAP Award winners and their field of interests are Hannah Johnson (Women's Lacrosse, Special Olympics), Jasmine McWilliams (Women's Basketball, Law & Communications), Annabel Skubisz (Field Hockey, The Energy Industry), Will Halkyard (Football, Sports Finance and Administration), Katherine Hessler (Women's Cross Country, Criminal Justice & Law), and Jordan Carr (Field Hockey, Publishing).
Â
Each student-athlete will be paired with a mentor in their field of interest in the industry and allow them to gain first-hand experience while expanding their personal and professional network during a three-to-five-day immersion program. This year's I-MAP class, representing five different teams, will complete their experiences over the next calendar year and will work directly with the Kabiller NU for Life team.
Â
"The opportunity to assist our student-athletes in creating world-class life changing experiences is why we do what we do," said Ahmad Boyd, assistant director of the David G. Kabiller NU for Life Program.
Â
I-MAP was designed in 2017 with the support of Kellogg School of Management alumnus, Michael Price, to foster connections between current student-athletes, Northwestern alumni, and supporters of Northwestern Athletics around the world through the help of the David G. Kabiller NU for Life Program. These resources are available to student-athletes the moment they arrive on campus and remain with them as they navigate their careers. In its fifth year of programming, the I-MAP experience continues to foster transformational experience for NU student-athletes to help them prepare for life-long careers.
