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.

Colin Vanden Berg and is a Senior English Major with a minor in journalism. His article is “Living with Two Birth Dates: The Culture of Neuro-rehabilitation clients,” which is an ethnographic essay for Advanced Composition in which he observed a local neuro-rehab clinic and examined the rituals, symptoms, and defining features of the clients in clinics such as the one he observed. For this project, he was passionate about featuring a group of people who have experience feeling marginalized daily. After he graduates, he hopes to work part-time as a writer and/or reporter for a local or digital publication. He then hopes to work his way up to full-time position as an entertainment critic or editor. Through this project, he honed his skills for interviewing, observation, and research, all of which he plans to incorporate into his professional field.
