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.

Determinants of Abortion Bans by States Post-Roe
By alicia hill

Alicia Hill is a senior at Millersville University majoring in Sociology with a concentration in Criminology, with minors in Government and Political Affairs and Psychology. After graduation, Alicia plans to use her skills learned at Millersville to work for positive social change. As her honors thesis, this project serves as her departmental honors project. As she knew she was going to be working on her honors thesis for almost a year, Alicia wanted her project to be something that she’s passionate about. While she has always been interested in and passionate about women’s and reproductive justice, upon Politico’s May 2022 leak of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Supreme Court decision, Alicia knew that it would be rather interesting to focus her project on the impacts of the overturning of the right to abortion. Alicia’s project analyzes the statistical determinants of the enaction of an abortion ban by states after the Dobb’s decision.
