Anterior Cruciate Ligaments
By Alexis Jenkins
Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.
Water conservation: how we can be less wasteful with our water
Echo Brackbill
Echo Brackbill is a freshman Geography major. They began this project with a friend for their FYEX class with Dr. Mbindyo. The specific topic was chosen due to their interest in climate change and how individuals can do their part. Echo is passionate about the environment and learning about its different aspects. The goal of their project is to educate others about how climate change is affecting our water and to propose an option that Millersville University can take to help with water conservation. Echo plans to go into the environmental field after they graduate to make a direct impact. They will use the information that they learned from this project in the future. Authors Note: Echo would like to thank Dr. Mbindyo for her mentorship and support.
