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.

Claude cahun and the queer experience in photography
By Sarah del toro
Sarah Del Toro is currently a junior majoring in Interactive and Graphic Design and minoring in Creative Writing and Publication. Her interest in art and creative writing stems from how audiences can interpret and analyze the self-expression and communication within those creative works. Some of her preferred themes to explore in both her work and other artists' include commonly stigmatized topics like mental illness and queer identities. Sarah studied Claude Cahun, a queer lesbian artist well-known for her thought-provoking photography, writing, performances, and other creative works. Sarah visually analyzed Cahun’s photographs made in collaboration with her lesbian lover Marcel Moore. In addition, she examined Cahun’s background and the historical context to understand what art movements, personal identity, and philosophies influenced her pieces. Then she researched how Cahun explored her experience of gender identity and lesbian sexuality in her work. Sarah gained a new perspective on LGBT expression in art and how it can be used to challenge social norms. Through her art and storytelling, Sarah hopes to follow in Cahun’s footsteps and change people’s view of the world by shedding light on stigmatized topics.
