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.

“To Apply Thy Best Endeavors”: The Political Influence of Hannah Penn
By claire devinney
Claire DeVinney is a junior at Millersville University majoring in Atlantic World Studies and minoring in Spanish. She began this project while taking HIST 453: Indians and Colonists in Colonial Pennsylvania. Through researching Hannah Callowhill Penn’s proprietary control of Pennsylvania after the death of Pennsylvania’s founder, William Penn, Claire seeks to explore populist trends in colonial Pennsylvania government and culture and to reveal and analyze Hannah Callowhill Penn’s political influence and motivations as Atlantic colonies became more independent of their European originators. Claire has presented some of her findings at the American Historical Association 2023 Annual Meeting, and plans to refine and expand her research through her Honors thesis process.
