Classroom

Character

Rogowski is a terrific role model for underclassmen at DePaul and lives every day of her life trying to follow the Vincentian values she has learned at the university. She goes out of her way to help the less fortunate and lives her life in a way that would make St. Vincent de Paul proud. Because of her humility, one would never know that she broke the all-time Hersey High School scoring record set by ex-DePaul star and NBA veteran Dave Corzine, who played eight seasons with Michael Jordan on the Chicago Bulls.

Community

True to her Vincentian nature, Rogowski has immersed herself in community-service activities and projects. Some of those have included volunteering with Misericordia, St. Vincent DePaul Student Service Days, Feed the Homeless, Bring the Blue Blanket Drive and Autograph with Kids. She has appeared at the Chicagoland media luncheon, the Fox Sports kickoff, Nike Town youth girls event and also volunteered at the Sheffield Garden Walk. Rogowski also coordinated the women’s basketball toy drive for children 2 to 5 years old at the St. Vincent de Paul Center and Marillac House day care centers.

Competition

Rogowski entered her senior season with a .386 (204-of-529) 3-point field goal percentage, which ranks seventh among active Division I players. She set the DePaul single-season record for 3-pointers as a junior with 114 and needs 100 3-pointers to break the all-time school record. She was an All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention performer as a junior and was named to the BIG EAST Honor Roll four times. Megan led the BIG EAST Conference and ranked fourth in Division I with 3.26 3-pointers per game as a junior.
