A breakout star for the 2019 U.S. Women’s National Team, Lavelle helped lead the team to their fourth FIFA Women’s World Cup- setting a new record.
With three goals in the tournament, she received many accolades, including the Bronze Ball. The Washington Spirit midfielder was also named a top footballer worldwide by the World Player Union this year. Lavelle made her first appearance for Team USA in 2017.
“I am so excited to come back to my home state and spend some time with the students, faculty and community at Northern Kentucky University. It is sure to be a fantastic evening,” said Lavelle.
NKU’s Activities Programming Board brings high-profile speakers to campus each fall to share different perspectives with students.
Past speakers include “Queer Eye” Star and LGBTQ rights activist Karamo Brown; “Orange is the New Black” Actress and immigration activist Diane Guerrero and Full House Star and substance abuse speaker Jodi Sweeten.
“Through our speaker series, students have the opportunity to meet and learn from individuals who sometimes seem outside their reach,” said Tiffany Mayse, director of Student Engagement at NKU. “Each speaker represents various backgrounds and identities, which allows students to learn more about prevalent issues in society they might not have known existed.”
