STUDENT HEROES AWARD Recipient: Alexis Wright Majors: Elementary Education; Special Education In honor of Claire Hansen

Alexis Wright co-founded Fishing Inspires Special Hearts (F.I.S.H.) to enrich the lives of children with special needs by providing the opportunity to spend time outdoors and get hooked on fishing. During a one-day event each summer, special anglers are paired with experienced fishermen to try to catch the big one! With a double major in special education and elementary education with a minor in business administration, Alexis found the perfect way to combine her love of fishing with her passion of working with special needs children.
