Ryan Lax, Impact Academy
College: Cal State University East Bay
Ryan is Impact Academy’s 2018 winner of the Bob Lenz “PDO” Scholarship.
Ryan exemplifies all that it means to be a Spartan and a Scholar-Athlete. As a first-generation college student, he made the most of his time at Impact Academy, and took full advantage of his education. As a student, he was always respectful to his teachers and his peers, all while maintaining a level of self-motivation that allowed him to succeed academically. He understands what it means to be a critical thinker, a collaborative worker, and a powerful communicator. He’s been described by staff as someone who: “has a heart and soul filled with love and kindness.” With those attributes, we are confident that Ryan will succeed and thrive as he enrolls in Cal State University East Bay this fall. The CSUEB Pioneers are lucky to have him!
