In recognition of Autism Acceptance Month this April, members of the ITA Student-Athlete Council met with Bowdoin College women’s tennis juniors Zoe Sun and Caroline Stuhlfaut, plus head coach Ben Lamanna, to highlight their involvement, passion and tireless work with the ACEing Autism program.
Designed to help children with autism grow, develop and benefit through tennis programming, Bowdoin is greatly involved with ACEing Autism on its campus, turning an act of community involvement into a greater understanding of leadership and inclusion.
“College tennis has taught me that energy is contagious, and through ACEing Autism, I have seen how important it is to lead with warmth, encouragement, and consistency. Those small moments have helped me form meaningful relationships with the athletes and their families,” Stuhlfaut said.
