Megan Bell from Arkansas Tech University has been named the 2022 ITA Arthur Ashe Leadership and Sportsmanship Award winner.

Megan has been in the program for six years, which is unique. She was redshirted her freshman year and then had a covid year. This has allowed her to graduate this May with her master’s degree in Multimedia Journalism.

Academically, Bell has been named to the Dean’s list in the fall of 2018 and 2019, an ITA Scholar-Athlete in 2018, 2019, and 2021, and has achieved a 4.0 Graduate GPA.

Off the court, Bell has spearheaded many of the tennis teams’ service projects. These include food backpacks at Oakland elementary, fall fest at center valley, green and gold give back, and many more. As part of her GA position in student affairs, she organized Green and Gold Give back the last two years. She has well over 150 hours of community service during her time at Tech.
