Division III Week Spotlight: Brahiam Ortega

Division III Week Spotlight: Brahiam Ortega

Division III Week is a positive opportunity for all individuals associated with Division III to observe and celebrate the impact of athletics and of student-athletes on the campus and surrounding community. During the week, every Division III school and conference office is encouraged to conduct a type of outreach activity that falls into one of three categories: academic accomplishment; athletic experience; or leadership/community service/campus involvement.

Salem State continues its celebration of Division III Week with a featured spotlight on men's baseball player Brahiam Ortega and his experience to give back as a Salem State student-athlete.

How would you describe the experience of being able to give back to the local community while being a student-athlete at Salem State?

"The experience of being able to give back to the local community while being a student-athlete at Salem State University was a wonderful, grateful and blessed feeling. Being able to get the opportunity to give back to the local community is what it's all about. I have looked forward to every moment when we had the chance to do so."

How has being a d3 athlete helped you develop and practice your leadership skills?

"Being a d3 athlete has helped me develop and practice my leadership skills in ways I could have not imagined. It  has helped me be a better version of myself, realize who I am and what I am capable of, while helping others along the way so we could all enjoy the time we have together on/off the field."
