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.

The 2022 geography course, Sustainable Development, consists of a group of Geography, Environmental and Spatial Sciences, Biology, and other majors that are committed to making a difference in their campus and community. To this end, this semester they are creating a pollinator garden next to the existing campus garden beds, performing stream cleanups, turning off campus classroom lights on late Friday afternoons, and assisting at the Campus Cupboard. Beyond these plans, they are also seeking to develop a better understanding of some environmental issues facing their community so they can help to weigh-in with ideas for solutions. The class noticed that campus dining operations have changed from the COVID pre-pandemic situation, including increases in use of single-use packaging, and wondered if campus recycling and other aspects of sustainable dining may have changed as well. Here is highlighted the work of their investigations into changes in campus dining operations across a number of southeastern Pennsylvania campuses, with the students’ recommendations for enhancing sustainable outcomes.
