Small Towns and Big Dreams

 Megan Cyr, a senior studying Public and Interpersonal Communication at N.C. State University, grew up in a small town outside of Winnipeg, MB. From an early age she always had dreams of breaking away from tradition and leaving the town of Selkirk to see what the world had to offer. Throughout high school she knew that her ticket out of the small town was going to be through her athletics.

After graduating high school, Megan earned an athletic scholarship to the University of Colorado at Boulder where she spent two years studying Communication. The two years spent there were some of her most memorable yet horrifying years of her life. She made lifelong friends, travelled to new states, experienced the college atmosphere, and excelled in school. However, her volleyball career drastically changed when a new coaching staff was hired after her freshmen year. After a gruelling and horrible sophomore volleyball season, Megan found a new home in N.C. State University.

Entering her fifth and final season as a collegiate volleyball player, Megan is looking to go out with a bang not only on the court but in the classroom as well. She is the captain of the volleyball team and works hard to maintain a 3.4 GPA. Her experiences in Colorado and North Carolina have taught her many life lessons and exposed her to a new and exciting world.
