Sarah Barclay knows what it means to wear the jersey.
She was a standout varsity field hockey player, a coach, and now a champion for the next generation.
As the leader of fundraising and alumni engagement at The University of British Columbia Athletics & Recreation, Sarah’s the one hosting alumni events, reconnecting former Thunderbirds, and raising the support that keeps varsity programs strong. And always cheering for women to succeed.
As she puts it:
“There’s a common connection that links varsity alumni, and so many are passionate about giving back and creating future leaders.
Working with dynamic people in a high-performance culture energizes me every single day.”
Truth.
She’s also a trail runner (banging out ultras!), a Girl Guide leader, and the kind of person who shows up fully—for her team, her community, and the people coming up behind her.
No surprise that Sarah jumped in early—and wholeheartedly—as a founding member of SHE’S GOT NEXT.
We’re lucky to have her in our corner.
