Katherine Fitzgerald, a UNC graduate and current graduate student at Arizona State University, made the news this week after tweeting that she would donate to the Flint water crisis in Michigan for every point that Miles Bridges scored in Duke’s game against the Michigan State Spartans Tuesday night. Staff Writer Paige Nehls spoke with Fitzgerald, who said the tweet was a reaction to a Duke fan holding a sign that read “The water tastes better in North Carolina.”

The Daily Tar Heel: What made you decide to donate the money?

Katherine Fitzgerald: I didn’t really think much about it.
