Community

Holloway is a member and peer mentor in Notre Dame’s Rosenthal Leadership Academy, which develops and enhances strong leadership with programming for emerging and existing leaders. Student-athletes are nominated by peers and confirmed by coaching staffs. The program supports skill-building, self-awareness, commitment to institution and team goals, and empathy and perspective-taking, allowing student-athletes to consider issues beyond those that directly affect themselves.

She is an active participant in Fighting Irish Fighting for Life, a program which pairs local pediatric patients with athletic teams on campus to spend time with them at several different events like holiday parties and movie watches.

Additionally, Holloway has taken part and helped facilitate Notre Dame Softball’s Annual Strike Out Cancer Initiative, which raises money and awareness to support local pediatric cancer patients and their families. She has also participated in various projects such as packing meals for local schools and running youth camps for the softball program.
