NEWARK, Del. -- Former Blue Hen volleyball player Jill Meyers was part of a group of University of Delaware students who traveled to Vietnam this summer with Projects Abroad to intern at the Thuy An Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children, where they helped local staff treat mentally and physically disabled children.
Preparing for careers in Medicine, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy, the group of seven students earned university credit for their time and commitment as interns in Vietnam. They were given the chance to pursue their own interests and take initiative in assisting various children, while being supported and mentored by local professional staff.
Meyers, a 2015 UD graduate, was a three-year letterwinner and two-year starters for the Blue Hens. She served as team captain during her final two seasons, and posted 170 kills and a .222 attack percentage as a senior during the 2014 campaign.
