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 Program Evaluation of Millersville University Student Police Academy: improving Diversity in Policing
By Elizabeth Rohrback, Ana Carolina Munar, Destiny Lebron, Mary Brogna, Emma wright, & David Lenig
The MU Student Police Academy Research team consists of six research assistants from the Center for Public Scholarship and Social Change: Elizabeth Rohrback (Junior Sociology with Criminology concentration), Ana Carolina Munar (Graduate student- Master of Science in Technology and Innovation), Destiny Lebron (Junior Psychology Major), Mary Brogna (Junior Psychology Major), Emma Wright (Junior Sociology Major) and David Lenig (Senior Sociology with Criminology concentration). One of the goals of the Center for Public Scholarship and Social Change is to promote collaboration between local organizations and Millersville University faculty and students, by enabling students to use their research skills on campus and in their community. Our team members share an interest in criminal justice, policing, and social change. We were able to explore these interests through the evaluation of the Millersville University Student Citizens Police Academy, held in the Fall of 2020, in collaboration with Millersville University Chief of Police, Pete Anders.
