NAAAP Pride announces this year's awardee: Schuyler Bailar! See more of our winners at www.leadershipconvention.org and join our ceremony on August 13.

Schuyler Bailar is an internationally acclaimed educator, author, and advocate, and the first transgender athlete to compete in any sport on an NCAA Division 1 men’s team.

As a teenager, Schuyler was one of the nation’s top breaststrokers and set a national age-group record at 17. He was recruited by Harvard Women’s Swimming but after transitioning during a gap year, he was also offered (and accepted) a slot on the Harvard Men’s swim team - making him the first trans athlete to compete on any D1 men’s team. At Harvard, he swam on the most successful Harvard swim team in 50 years. Schuyler chose to be public about his transition to ensure that other kids saw at least one example of a transgender athlete doing what they love, and his choice and his transition was historic and timely. His story has appeared everywhere from 60 Minutes to The EllenShow.
