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.

Jolene Bechtel has a dual major in International Studies and French with concentrations in International Relations and Comparative Studies. Her topic was inspired by the use of technology, and lack thereof, during her travels around the globe, including Belgium and France. China was the final choice as it offered highly contrasting outcomes compared to the U.S. Jolene’s research was jumpstarted in collaboration with her senior seminar class in the Fall. During the course of this project, Jolene was introduced to Stata, a data analysis software, which she believes will benefit her in future research endeavors. She hopes to pursue a career in the international field in bettering local and global communities.
