WASHINGTON – Georgetown University women's lacrosse player Ellie Vogel has been selected as a Baker Scholar for the 2024 cohort by The College. The rising junior from Yardly, Pennsylvania was one of 10 students selected to be part of the prestigious program.

The Baker Scholars Program was founded at Georgetown College in 1973 with funding from the George F. Baker Foundation. The program seeks exceptional sophomores in Georgetown College who possess a demonstrated interest in business and strong records of academic achievement, community service and leadership.

The Baker Scholars Program offers unique exposure to a range of businesses, nonprofits, and social enterprises. Through dialogue and experience, students are challenged to imagine beyond what they know or think they might know. The program provides students the freedom to discover and explore business and service related opportunities that build confidence and connections. It also seeks to develop and reinforce a sense of social obligation and community responsibility within the Scholars, which serves as a foundation for their future careers. Through community service activities, exploration of nonprofits, and education about corporate responsibility, the program helps answer students' questions about how individuals and businesses can be powerful agents of positive change.

Vogel is pursuing a theology and religious studies major with a concentration in religious studies as well as business studies and journalism minors. The midfielder appeared in three games this past season with one caused turnover to her credit. Off the field, Vogel works as a program assistant for Health Education Services addressing the mental health of students on campus and is a proud member of Jack Crew.
