NORTHBROOK, Ill. – Allstate and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) have announced the first-ever Allstate NACDA Good Works Team (Fall), recognizing 20 student-athletes for their dedication to leadership, service, and community impact, including Regis Men's Soccer Junior Goalkeeper, Hojin Lee.
"I feel incredibly honored to be selected for this award! I have to give credit to all of my fellow student-athletes for their hard work in getting involved within our community," said Lee. "Without every Ranger's hard work, I wouldn't be able to be recognized for an award like this. I also want to thank the athletics staff for the hard work they put in to benefit every athlete! I am so proud to be a student-athlete at Regis University!"
The fall team includes men and women from NCAA Divisions I, II, and III, junior/community college and the NAIA – representing seven collegiate sports, including soccer, volleyball, cross country, field hockey and water polo. Honorees were selected for supporting causes like pediatric cancer care, disability inclusion, food and housing insecurity and education access.
Hojin is a long-standing volunteer with Team IMPACT, dedicating numerous hours to building relationships with children facing serious illnesses or disabilities. As Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) President, he has helped students move in, assisted with campus clean-ups and participated in service events to ensure everyone feels welcomed. Behind his leadership, Regis won the RMAC SAAC Cup for the third year in a row in 2024-25. Hojin also volunteers at the RMAC Women's Wrestling Tournament, helping promote inclusivity and excellence in athletics. Recognized with Regis' Men's Hustle Award in 2024 for exceptional effort and resilience, he uses his platform to advance civic engagement, student wellness, and youth outreach across the RMAC.
