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.

A Musical Analysis of the Senior Recital Repertoire of Gavin R. Grove
By gavin grove
Gavin Grove is currently a senior majoring in both music education and clarinet performance at the Tell School of Music at Millersville University of Pennsylvania. He proudly hails from Akron, Pennsylvania. Music has always been an important staple in Gavin’s life, as his parents exposed him to the arts at a young age. During his time at Millersville, he has served as the President of the Millersville University Single Reed Society. Gavin has also served as a Woodwind Technician and Alumni Night Coordinator for the Ephrata High School Marching Unit. Outside of music, Gavin is interested in golf, politics, and all things Pittsburgh sports. In the future, Grove aspires to find a job as a music educator and hopes to further his education in a master’s program. Done in coordination with the Millersville University Honors College, Grove’s undergraduate thesis attempts to provide a unique perspective into select clarinet compositions, with a particular emphasis on composer background, a formal analysis of the works and the experimental nature of clarinet composition in the twentieth century.
