Cassie “Cash” Nash ’23 is her name, scoring and stealing are her game. No one can stop her, but she stops everyone. Nash’s dazzling dominance in two sports this year earned her A-R-C Offensive MVP and Defensive Player-of-the-Year honors in soccer and basketball, respectively.
Fighting HIV/AIDS has been a heart-tugging calling for Ishaya David ’17 since he was a teenager in his native Nigeria. Today, the Quad Cities UnityPoint pharmacist continues his quest to improve the healthcare and well-being of African youth as president of the NGO Dreams Alive.
