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.

Molly Sterner is a senior at Millersville majoring in General Biology. She is pursuing her thesis project through the Developmental Biology lab of Dr. Judith Cebra-Thomas, and has been engaged in this project with the lab since the summer of 2018. Here, she has had the opportunity to investigate the gene regulation of specific undifferentiated cells in turtle embryos and how these cells give rise to the shell that protects and supports them. This research experience has given her the ability to explore embryology and molecular biology, as well as practice techniques that will aid in her success in future research settings.
