Sports ambassadors visit ADWC

The visitors toured the campus and spent time with members of the college's extracurricular sports clubs, encouraging students to pursue sports and academics hand-in-hand.

Both visitors work worldwide to promote women's sports as an avenue for personal advancement, as well as a means toward international peace. They are visiting Abu Dhabi to take part in Prince Feisal of Jordan's Generations for Peace sports camp, held this year under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahayan, UAE Deputy Prime Minister.

Dr. Bradley Cook, ADWC's Director, declared: "These two women are outstanding examples of what sports can do for a person's confidence and outlook on life. We're so glad they were able to visit with our students." Ms. De Varona, who has been called "one of the greatest swimmers of her generation. I am very impressed to see the level of activity and accomplishment at this College. These women have so much going for them!" Ms. Azzi, "the Michael Jordan of women's basketball," agreed. "We expect great things from these students," she added.
