Many UCLA students have formidable résumés, but few can say they were recognized by the White House. As an undergraduate, however, Cameron Hajialiakbar founded the UCLA chapter of Coaching Corps, a nonprofit that involves students in coaching kids from neighborhoods without access to park and school sports programs. His efforts caught the attention of the Obama administration, which named him a “Champion of Change” in 2012. For him, coaching was about building teamwork, discipline and self-esteem while repaying the mentors of his own childhood. Hajialiakbar’s undergraduate career also included teaching English in Zanzibar and volunteering at the AIDS Service Center. He then earned a law degree, developing a whole new set of tools for helping others.
