NIRSA Regional Flag Football Tournament  Friday - Sunday, October 22 - 24

Hellah Sidibe, UMass Class of 2013 and Varsity Men's Soccer Alum Returns!

Join us as we welcome back Hellah Sidibe. Hellah will give a motivational talk in the Recreation Center gymnasium, where he will inspire you to strive to reach your goals, discuss tackling mental health issues, and describe how he became a plant-based athlete. 

After the talk, Hellah will lead anyone who wants to join on a positive vibes group run that will focus on connecting with each other, not speed! Run a loop around main campus that will have options for 1, 2 or 3 miles. After the run, Hellah will sit down with up to 60 people in the Hampshire private dining room where you can share a meal and learn more about his plant-forward diet.

Finally, Hellah will help us kick off a UMass shoe drive for his chosen charity, Soles4Souls. Soles4Souls is a non-profit organization that collects gently used shoes for people in need and helps safeguard the environment though reuse.
