Katie Spotz

An Evening with Katie Spotz-CANCELLED!

March 21, 2012
7-9 PM
Daley Dining Hall
Desserts & coffee

23-year old Katie Spotz, from Mentor, Ohio, describes herself as having been the “benchwarmer” throughout her life.  However, there came a time when she made a discovery: you don’t have to be extraordinary to achieve incredible things. And she set about achieving them, one by one.

No stranger to overcoming challenges, Katie has run across desserts, cycled across America, and is the first person to swim the 325-mile Allegheny River. 

Through her determination, passion for helping others, intelligence and love of adventure, Spotz has proven one person can make a big difference in the world if she believes in herself.

Katie’s story has been featured on CBS Morning Show, CBS Evening News, World News with Diane Sawyer, Anderson Cooper 360, New York Times, NPR, PBS News Hour and the Discovery Channel. In 2010, Katie was honored by Glamour Magazine as one of their "Women of the Year", alongside people like Julia Roberts, Cher and Queen Rania of Jordan.

“She used her raw courage to row the Atlantic, all alone for 70 days, to make sure people who will never know her name have clean water to drink.” Diane Sawyer, ABC World News Anchor
