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.

When Home is the Only Environment: Health Outcomes for Emerging Adults after COVID-19 Lockdown
By nyx crushong
I am a senior psychology major, expecting to graduate in May 2022. I began my education in psychology as an adult student at 27 years old and earned my A.S. in Psychology from HACC. I came to Millersville after becoming a member of the 2019 All-PA Academic Team and earned PASSHE transfer scholarship. The research on which I will be presenting explores the perceptions students have of their relationships with their parents, and which physical and mental health conditions they currently experience. After graduation, I plan to continue my path toward research in Social Psychology by finding employment in a research lab and pursuing a doctoral degree in the field.
