When the redshirt senior forward looks back on her undergraduate career, Sarah Cardamone ’14 realizes her fondest memories took place at the College’s Patriots Point soccer field. Unlike her graduating teammates’ careers, however, Cardamone’s tenure on the women’s soccer team didn’t end with this May’s commencement, when she earned her degree in business administration. She

For generations of students, it’s been a gathering spot – a place to meet for lunch, to study or just soak up some sun. But for Allison Welch and her undergraduate research students, the small pond in the Stern Center Garden provides the perfect subject pool. “There is a big population of Southern toads and
It’s been said that where there is unity, there is always victory. The College’s equestrian team certainly proved that last May when it finished second at the 2014 Intercollegiate Horse Show Association National Championships in Harrisburg, Pa. “Our win at nationals wasn’t just the six girls representing the team, but all 45 girls on the
