Northeastern University Student Government Association is pleased to announce the Kelly Wallace as the October winner of the I AM A HUSKY Award. She has been selected as the first ever recipient of the award for her service to the community, dedication to her studies and her commitment to Northeastern’s women’s ice hockey team. As president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, Wallace has established partnerships with Playworks Metro Boston, a local charity that works with middle school aged children to promote healthy lifestyles and decrease bullying as well as Team Impact, a national charity that matches terminally ill children with collegiate athletic teams.
