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.
EMILY FORRY
I am currently a senior psychology major, and my project was conducted through the psychology departmental honors program. My project focuses on increasing TerraCycling behavior in Millersville students. TerraCycle is an organization that reuses, recycles, or upcycles non-recyclable waste like makeup packaging, cereal bags, and energy bar wrappers. I was first introduced to TerraCycle in Dr. Garner’s Child Development course, and I have been TerraCycling ever since. Because of my passion for this sustainable project, I was intrigued to investigate what motivates other students to change their behavior in order to start participating in a project like TerraCycle. My future plans include attending Millersville’s graduate program to obtain a master’s degree in school counseling. I would love to further my research in environmental psychology as well as investigate school-based mentoring programs.
