The USA South Athletic Conference will once again give institutions the opportunity to spotlight student-athletes each Wednesday as a part of the Conference's #WhyD3Wednesday initiative. In its ninth year, #WhyD3Wednesday allows student-athletes to briefly explain why they chose to attend their Division III institution as well as share some of their favorite things in life. To view this week's submission, please see below and make sure to follow the hashtag #WhyD3Wednesday on the USA South's X (@usa_south) and Instagram (@usa_south) social media platforms throughout the year as League student-athletes share their stories.

Skyla-Jo Charette - Pfeiffer University - Senior - Women's Lacrosse
"I chose Pfeiffer because the day I stepped foot on campus I KNEW it was the right place for me. My professors are always doing their best to support me academically, my team is like a second family, and Pfeiffer is like home. When they told us on Freshmen Move in Day that “Pfeiffer is Home” we all laughed and thought they were joking, but it’s SO TRUE. #ROLLBIRDS!!!!."
