Kyah Walker ’24 hails from South Bend, Indiana, and is pursuing a major in business with a minor in marketing.

“I chose business as my major due to the fact that business has a wide range of career sectors that interested me,” notes Walker. “I would like to pursue either marketing or accounting.”

“I chose Holy Cross College due to being close to family and continuing my basketball career,” said Walker.

“I’m involved with the women’s basketball team and the Black Student Association,” said Walker. “Due to mental health and injuries my freshman year I am the team manager now, but looking forward to possibly playing on the basketball team my senior year.”

 “My basketball coach cut me from the team my senior year of high school, and I ended up transferring schools halfway through my senior year to finish my basketball career at another school. This particular incident had a devastating impact on me because I genuinely loved the sport, but I realized it happened for a reason and I was still able to continue my basketball career in college,” recalls Walker.

“My future plans after I graduate are to attend graduate school,” said Walker. “Preferably, my first choice would be at the University of Notre Dame, but if not possibly in the downtown Chicago area or possibly someplace warm.”
