Isabelle Webster ’13 Recognized with Yale’s Molly Meyer Humanitarian Award
Yale University recently announced Calvert alumna Isabelle Webster ’13 as one of three recipients of this year’s Molly Meyer Humanitarian Award, an honor that is given annually to senior student-athletes “whose character exemplifies selfless devotion along with compassion and concern for their team and the community at Yale and beyond.”
Per Yale’s announcement, Isabelle has made “critical contributions to the success of a women's lacrosse team that is enjoying its greatest season in program history.” On the field and off, Isabelle has made “a positive impact” on the team as captain of the scout teams and an avid sideline supporter of her teammates.
"'Web' or 'Webby,' as we refer to her, is the heart and soul of our program. She embodies all the characteristics of the quintessential teammate: selfless, caring, compassionate, kind, competitive, and truly invested in the team's success over her own," Yale Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach Erica Bramford said in the announcement. "She has consistently proven to be a leader and significant contributor to a positive team culture."
When she is not racing up and down the lacrosse field, Isabelle participates in several student organizations, including the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, where she advocates for “support and resources” for collegiate athletes.
“At Yale, she has been a mainstay on SAAC since her sophomore year and has recently earned SAAC All-Star status,” the announcement reads. “She serves on the SAAC wellness subcommittee, now referred to as YU Matter. Most notably, she worked with a group to create student-to-student peer group sessions, creating a place for athletes to connect on issues and successes of their teams.”
In addition to her work as a student-athlete, Isabelle is a facilitator for the One Love Foundation, a national nonprofit that aims to end relationship abuse. Per Yale’s announcement, in her first year at the school during a One Love Escalation Workshop, she led a team in guided discussions about recognizing the signs of relationship abuse. She was also recently selected as an ambassador for Hidden Opponent, an organization that raises awareness for student-athlete mental health and addresses the stigma within the sports culture.”
Congratulations to Isabelle on this remarkable achievement!
Calvert School is a coed independent lower and middle school.
