Award Recognition
Community Building
Lilian Kennedy is a current member and Captain of the Women's Basketball team, as well as a Co-founder and Program Coordinator of Columbia's Black Student Athlete Alliance (BSAA). She, as well as fellow classmates, took it upon themselves to create a safe space on campus where black student athletes could have meaningful dialogue, while also discovering ways to make an impact in leadership, service, and mentorship throughout the community.
Thank you so much for this nomination to receive such an amazing award! I am extremely grateful to have had multiple opportunities to lead within the Columbia community, and I am looking forward to continuing these efforts both during and after my time here at Columbia.
