Every summer, countless college students leave the country, flocking to the far reaches of the globe searching for adventure and a reprieve from domestic life. Hundreds of students from this very university have spent the summer abroad conducting research, pursuing career opportunities, working with charitable organizations or sightseeing. These travelers are probably proud of the education they received, professional networks developed, the humanitarian relief conferred or selection of the perfect Instagram filters for selfies with iconic landmarks.
But few of them can claim to have represented the U on as large a stage as volleyball player Adora Anae, who helped capture the gold medal for the USA Volleyball Women’s Junior National Team (WJNT) at the 2015 European Global Challenge in Croatia.
