Presidents of the
Century
Looking back at University leadership over the past 100 years shows similarities, differences in presidents past By Christie Kerner Reporter
Dr. R..E. Offenhauer president from 1937-1938
Dr. Frank J. Prout president from 1938-1951
Dr. Ralph G. Harshman president from 1961-1963
Each University president leaves a different legacy of reputation, success and failure. But many students only know their names as the buildings scattered throughout campus. The past and present presidents of the University are Homer B. Williams, R.E. Offenhauer, Frank J. Prout, Ralph W. McDonald, Ralph G. Harshman, William T. Jerome, Hollis A. Moore Jr., Paul J. Olscamp, Sidney A. Ribeau and Carol A. Cartwright. Some served many years while others served two. Some were liked by students and some were not; many faced times of war, while all faced financial issues. “As I reflect on the history of Bowling Green, just about every president has had to face enormous challenges on the financial front,” said former Vice President and former Secretary of the Board of Trustees, Richard Edwards. Presidential personalities The stories of the University’s presidents are diverse due to varying time periods and varying presidential personalities. “I think each president has left his own very special footprint on the University,” Edwards said. President Williams served the longest term from February 1912 until September 1937. He would later serve two more months when his successor, Offenhauer, was killed in an automobile accident after 16 months in office. Offenhauer was seen as a man of great charm and impressive

Presidents serve the University Some presidents served shorter terms than others. President Harshman served as the fifth president in 1961 and served a quick term. Harshman took office nearing retirement age, but during a time of real crisis. Student and faculty morale at the University was at an all time low following McDonald’s resignation. His sense of justice helped quiet the arguments being made, according to Overman’s book. Richard Edwards was appointed executive vice president with Provost Michael R. Ferrari, who was appointed as interim president in 1981 after President Moore died due to a blood tumor that developed from a blood disease. “President Moore had such a good working relationship with students,� Edward said. “Moore was very persuasive and persistent; I just couldn’t say no to him.� Interim President Ferrari was forced to deal with a series of financial crisis and other difficult matters. “Both Moore and Ferrari were very inclusive, always reaching out and really worked hard on faculty
staff relationships,� Edwards said. Paul J. Olscamp was appointed president 14 months after Moore’s death, with much of the University population upset about his appointment. Many believed the Board of Trustees were keeping secrets about their selection process, which led many to resent Olscamp, according to Overman’s book. This would change. Over the course of his 12year term, academics would improve greatly. He also played an active role in the University’s financial situation. “Olscamp had an entirely different operating style,� Edwards said. President Sidney A. Ribeau would follow in 1995 and serve as an active president among students and faculty. Ribeau asked Edwards to be a member of the Centennial Committee. “I’ve really enjoyed it,� Edwards said. “It’s mostly fun to work with people on campus.� The University would then bring retired President of Kent State University Carol Cartwright to serve as the University’s first woman President.
“I’ve been the first female at a lot of different points throughout my career,� President Cartwright said. Cartwright served as the interim president before being asked to take office. “She is the most active on campus — she is just everywhere,� Weiss said. “She’s really a great representation of the University.� Cartwright is a passionate woman who advises everyone to go after what they want. “I’m a person who believes you should follow your dreams, assess your own interests and passions and see where you go,� she said. Cartwright sees the legacy she leaves behind as a team effort by everyone involved in her administration. “I really understand the power of a team,� she said. “It’s not a personal legacy because what we will accomplish will be done as a team.� Her administration looks to turn enrollment around as well as put new energy towards developing University infrastructure. “I admire her energy and vision,� Edwards said. “I think she’s doing an extraordinarily effective job.�

STUDENTS From Page 1 Bonapart has noticed more students are getting involved in environmental issues, planting more trees, recycling and thinking more about what they as students can do to branch out in the green movement. All universities analyzed did have some recycling program and some even organized recycling and energy-saving competitions to motivate students. At UT, residence hall Parks Tower earned first place in the 2009 “Blackout� competition. The competition monitored energy consumption from Oct. 15 through Dec. 15, and compared that number to the previous year. Whichever residence hall showed the most improvement won. “Our residents did an excellent job of making sure they were turning off lights when they weren’t needed,� UT Hall Director of Parks Tower Sandra Alef said. “We also had TV nights in the lobby so if more than one person was watching the same television show, they could all watch together instead of separately.� UT requires all first year students at orientation to watch a presentation about sustainable transportation options. Students
can also join one of its two organizations focusing on sustainability issues, said Director of Residence Life Jo Campbell. OU has at least eight green student organizations, with purposes ranging from improving recycling methods in dining halls to encouraging the Greek community to go green to an independent webzine titled “College Green� that covers environmental news in southeastern Ohio. OU is also home to the largest “compost vessel� in the nation, which OU created in January 2009. The compost vessel holds up to 28 tons of organic waste. One sustainability effort stirring up student support at OU is the creation of the “eco house� near campus, which OU transformed in 2005 by adding green features, including a garden, solar panels, a solar thermal water heater and an energy-efficient washing machine. Each year, three students live at the house, said Erin Sykes, sustainability staff member at OU. The “eco house� is also used for educational purposes to show how people can live eco-friendly. “Classes and school groups come here to see what green living is all about,� Sykes said. BGSU is also hoping to add an “eco house� to the list of properties students can rent. The “eco house�
would be an environmentallyfriendly residential unit with all the latest green design, composting for students committed to living green lives. “Right now, it’s in the administrative phase,â€? said Laura Winebarger, vice president of BGSU’s Environmental Action Group. “We just signed the proposal ‌ We’re still trying to figure out if it’s even possible to use one of the university-owned houses.â€? At BGSU, two student ecofriendly groups organize most green projects. The Environment Service Club is mostly geared toward short-term green service projects, such as planting trees or campus cleanup, and EAG does more long-term projects to make the campus greener. A student-run green initiative fund also raises money through the optional $5 green fee tacked on tuition. Students or groups can submit ideas to the green initiative fund and the student committee decides who will get the funding to carry out their idea. Another student-led program is Friday Night Lights, in which student volunteers turn off lights in buildings throughout campus to conserve energy. Sustainability Coordinator Nick Hennessy said the program has saved BGSU $10,000 so far. KSU recently conducted a survey

in which 81 percent of students said they perceived environmental threats as something society should be concerned about. Cathy Du Bois, chair of academic programs subcommittee of the KSU sustainability task force, said the survey also showed faculty believes student awareness and perception of sustainability is on the rise. Twenty-five KSU student organizations are incorporating sustainability, Du Bois said. Net Impact is a group of graduate students that works with both community and campus impact initiatives and has done a variety of campus events, said Net Impact Vice President Justin Goodman. “I would say there is a lot of interest at Kent State [in sustainability],� Goodman said. He said many students on campus are curious about sustainability and green initiatives. Many students, Du Bois said, don’t understand the concept of sustainability, but want to get involved when they see the words “green� or “environmental.� A class was offered last semester with the word “sustainability� in the title, but not many students signed up for the course. But when the course title was changed and had “green� in the title, more

students registered for the class, Du Bois said. “There’s a big push and people are a lot more conscious about the environment today,� said Mark Giese, academic administrative officer for the School of Environment and Natural Resources at OSU. People need to enhance and protect the environment, but sometimes people don’t understand that.� At OSU, the Students for a Sustainable Campus group works with students, faculty and staff to bring about ecological awareness and to
address issues of energy, the environment and public health. The Students for Recycling group tries to educate the student body on the importance of recycling, according to OSU’s website. OSU has had environmental programs since the late 1960s when protests and environmental consciousness were high. Since then, the popularity of the programs dipped, but Giese said a recent rise on campus has been evident.

FALCON SCREECH Dear annoying on-campus couples, I understand you’ve probably been dating for a whopping two weeks or so now, and you’re totally “in love.” But here’s a tidbit of information: no one cares, and no one wants to see you two hanging all over each other every day. Pick a less public place to show off, like spamming each other’s Facebook walls or something. Lunch time is for eating, not for sitting on each others’ laps, making out, swapping spit and food and who knows what else. (You know who you are, couple in Founders!) And don’t even get me started on the hand-holding human roadblocks blocking the sidewalks. Pick up the pace, or pick a new place to flaunt your “true love” that will probably fizzle once you move home this summer and stop living in each other’s dorm rooms, annoying your roommate and floormates around you. (And you know who you are, too.) -LOVE SICK Hey BGSU! You know, for an institute of higher learning, you do some really stupid crap. Why on earth would you close parking lots surrounding dorms during move-out? Perhaps so that students during 24-hour quiet hours can listen to construction? You really expect to be able to move out the two Offenhauer Towers with ten floors worth of students using two turnarounds? Why not wait a few more days? What about the commuters? There’s nowhere to park for finals! The ice house? Thanks! I love walking across campus for an already-stressful finals time because BGSU can’t get it together. -PARKING PROBLEMS To the little gold neon with Michigan plates: You don’t have a resident tag or a visitor tag. Stop parking in my spot. You can park wherever you want once you get an apartment here and start paying rent like I do. Next time, you’ll get more than a nasty note, you’ll get a tow bill. -SICK OF SHENANIGANS ON SUMMIT STREET Dear bikers, Good for you for having a bike on campus, you’re getting great exercise and you get to and from point A to point B quickly. But, please keep in mind that your bikes are pretty quiet, and walkers cannot hear you behind them. Please watch out for us, and do not run us over in your haste to get somewhere. We don’t realize you’re behind us until you’re right behind us. -PISSED PEDESTRIAN

Just because the Big Bang is a theory does not mean it is not a legitimate idea KYLE SCHMIDLIN FORUM EDITOR For millennia, the question “why are we here?” has intrigued man. It will likely continue to do so for all time. But science is finally close to answering not the why, which belongs to philosophers and theologians, but the how. The Big Bang Theory is the most commonly accepted theory of how the universe got to where it is today, but it is not, as it is so often characterized in popular media, a theory of the beginning of time. What the Big Bang Theory describes is actually what happened immediately after the Big Bang, a cosmological event about which we actually know very little. But that science is willing to admit its limitations doesn’t discredit the theory.
Maybe the most damaging popular misconception about science is the notion that a theory is something like a guess, and that any old “theory” might hold equal weight. It doesn’t. For something to become a scientific theory, it must start as a hypothesis. It must make predictions, followed by experiments, observations, peerreviewed reports and a revised hypothesis. If it’s good, it may reach the status of “theory” — just short of fact. The Big Bang Theory is no more dismissible than the theory of evolution or the theory of gravity. Several interesting aspects of our universe make it possible to learn about things happening 13 billion light years out into space — and 13 billion years into the past. The speed of light is incredibly fast, but finite and measurable. A light year is the distance light travels in one year. So, if
People have died for your right to vote PATRICK SAUNDERS FACULTY COLUMNIST Today is primary election day. It is also the 40th anniversary of the Kent State shootings, in which four students were killed and many others were wounded by a volley of fire from Ohio National Guardsmen sent to “control” the student rebellion. Note that I call this event a “rebellion” and not a riot, as the history books record it. Riot means a mob out of control, and the students at Kent were not a mob, but a group of citizens exercising the right of assembly. The student rebellion at Kent brought about another invasion when Governor James Allen Rhodes ordered units of the Ohio National Guard to assist in quelling it. Students reacted to this invasion with vigor, equating it with what was going on in Cambodia. Another irony of
this situation is that the Ohio National Guard was largely made up of young men who enlisted in the Guard to get a “stay home pass” and to not have to serve in Vietnam. The reason for the rebellion was the invasion of Cambodia by our country (of course, the Nixon Administration called it an “incursion”). The stated purpose of the invasion was to destroy the infrastructure of the Vietnamese National Liberation Front and to attack units of the North Vietnamese Army that were in Cambodia. The real results of the invasion were the eventual destruction of Cambodia by unrestricted bombing and war, the victory of the Khmer Rouge, and the infamous “Killing Fields,” where millions of Cambodians died under the hands of the followers of Pol Pot. Worldwide reaction to the shootings followed, unless you

we’re looking at a galaxy eight million light years away, we’re actually seeing that galaxy as it was eight million years ago. Light from our own sun takes eight minutes to get here, so what we see is actually what was there eight minutes ago. Light is the only thing that we can use to gain any knowledge about the universe outside our own immediate solar system (which is too tiny to even consider on a cosmological scale — the scale is even worse than a grain of sand compared to the whole Earth). But light is enough for us to gather several key pieces of evidence for the Big Bang. The top three are the expansion of the universe, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and the abundance of helium. We know the universe is expanding, and as of the last decade or so, we know the rate of the expansion is actually increasing due to a mysterious force, a type of vacuum energy
inherent to space itself scientists have dubbed “dark energy.” Light from all distant galaxies is redshifted, and the further the galaxy, the more dramatic the redshift. This is known as the Doppler Effect, and as an object moves away from you, the space between you increases, stretching out the waves. The faster the receding motion, the greater the redshift. Imagine standing next to a train track, and as the train approaches the pitch gets higher and higher — the waves are being compressed — and as it goes past, the pitch immediately drops as the waves are stretched. The CMB is a relic of the Big Bang event. Every direction we look, space itself seems to have a temperature of roughly 3 degrees Kelvin, a standardized scientific unit which sets the zero degree at zero molecular motion. It’s what we’d expect if the Big Bang

Consider all sides before casting ballot By Caleb Finkbeiner Guest Columnist
I would like those who are not pulling a Democratic ballot in the primary to know there is an alternative in November. In Wednesday’s Crescent News, there was an article highlighting the two candidates in the Republican primary and where they stand on certain issues. I would just like to let the public know where I stand. Both candidates voiced opposition to the new health care legislation, stating the time spent debating health care would have been better served cutting taxes for the middle class. I stand behind the health care bill, and while I believe we could have had a better bill if both sides worked together, we must look at the effect it has on our district before demanding repeal. The bill cuts taxes for 167,000 families and nearly 12,000 small businesses, and improves Medicare for 98,000
beneficiaries, including closing the donut hole. That is the short list. One can go to http:// energycommerce.house.gov/ Press_111/health_care/districts/new/OH5.Latta.pdf for the full report. When addressing the two wars in the Middle East, both candidates are in favor of staying put and placing fewer restrictions on our troops. It is also my position that we need to provide all available resources to our troops — not just on the battle field, but also when they return home. As far as staying put, I do not believe that is the position we need to take in the Middle East. We need focus on an exit strategy that leaves the respected countries to their elected governments and work with them as allies to ensure the safety of their people. Bob Latta said we need to get industry going so we can

model were correct. Another thing we’d expect is a particular abundance of atoms. The nearby universe is comprised of roughly 74 percent hydrogen, 23 percent helium and 3 percent heavier elements. Immediately following the Big Bang event, the universe was uniformly hot enough to combine two hydrogen atoms, the simplest element, into a helium. Observational data matches predictions nicely, the hallmark of a solid theory. But if the Big Bang Theory refers to what happened after the Big Bang event — such as the first formation of atoms, the separation of forces and eventually the creation of primordial stars and galaxies — it remains to be seen what the event itself actually was. Scientists cannot address what actually happened because of a

We were having a conversation about the war and he said the government was now killing kids back home. As I listened to him relate the event, I could not believe what I was hearing. My government, in my state, had brought the war to a college campus. If we were killing students on a college campus, who would be next to die because

These included the bailout of General Motors, which, if not passed, would have cost our district thousands and thousands of jobs, not just for GM, but for the countless number of automaker suppliers within our district. He also addressed the need for “actual energy policy.” But he made no mention of renewable clean energy, one of the largest growing industries in Ohio. As an unemployed worker, creating new jobs is a major concern of mine as well; however, cutting taxes on working class families and small businesses can not be the only approach to recovery. To see growth, we must see investment. It is my belief that whether this comes from the private sector or the government, investors would reap
fundamental block. Time is also finite. It began 10^-43 seconds after the Big Bang — that’s a 1 behind a decimal and 42 zeroes. Before this point, we cannot look. This is where the laws of nature “begin.” This limits our ability to peer back all the way up to the Big Bang. Several possibilities exist to explain this. One current theory holds that time itself travels at intervals of 10^-43 seconds, a kind of minimum step known as Planck time. Therefore, we can’t look before this time, because there is no time before it. One theory is that a previous universe collapsed in on itself in a “Big Crunch” and exploded back out in a “Big Bounce.” Recentcalculationsmakeitseem unlikely we live in a cyclic universe of that type. Measurements suggest the universe is just going to continue expanding, faster and faster. Gravity will be overpowered by dark energy, this force of expansion. First galaxies, then stars and planets, then atoms themselves
will be separated by vast distances of space in what’s called the “Big Rip.” Indeed, the expansion will become so incredibly powerful each molecule of your body will tear apart and go flying away from every other molecule of your body. The good news is, you won’t have to worry about that unless you plan on living another 20 billion years or so. But far from being mere speculation or mystical voodoo, scientists actually do have a firm understanding of how the universe got where it is today and where it may be headed. Expressions like “just a theory” don’t hold up to the knowledge which actually backs a theory. If you disagree, feel free to argue against the theory of gravity by floating off into space somewhere.
of the war? Soon after the tragedy at Kent on May 17, the Mississippi State Police opened fire on a student dorm on the campus of Jackson State University in Jackson, Miss., killing two students and wounding at least 12 others. The students were protesting the killings at Kent and the invasion of Cambodia, and these shootings have somehow faded into the background of history. Of course, in Mississippi the shooting of a few blacks was not even newsworthy, as it had been a common occurrence in the history of that state. This primary election day, please remember to vote and vote for those who mirror your
thoughts. This year, we have a selection of parties on the ballot, not just the corporate party and its two wings (the Republican and the Democratic parties). We also have an array of the minor parties: Socialist, Libertarian, Constitution and Green Party. So you have no excuse, vote. If you need a reason, cast your vote in the memory of those students who died for your freedoms on this day 40 years past — the students of Kent and Jackson State who were killed for asking, “why?”
benefits from such a move as we have some of the hardest workers in America right here in the 5th District. Both candidates touted their conservative credentials and fear of an overreaching government, but neither took time to address the issue of the day: illegal immigration and the ramifications of SB1070 in Arizona. While I believe this bill will undoubtedly be found unconstitutional, we still must look at the precedent it sets if not overturned. Lawmakers in Arizona stress that racial profiling will not be tolerated, but voted for a bill that not only allows but encourages that, with “reasonable suspicion,” any citizen can be questioned on their legal status in their state. With 30 percent of Arizona’s population being of Hispanic descent, how are officers expected to tell the difference between who is here legally or otherwise? In my view, we must first stop the number of companies with-
in our nation who hire those here illegally if we want to curb the flow of illegal immigrants coming across our borders. This would force those who are looking for work to pursue legal ways into our country, while allowing law enforcement to focus on the criminal element coming across our borders. It is my hope that people will look past the letter behind my name and look at where I stand and make the choice in November to vote for the candidate that best represents the needs of the 5th district.

SENIOR: Samantha Kintzel played in her last match with the Falcons this past weekend.
It was short, but most certainly not sweet. The BG tennis team saw its season come to an abrupt end Friday in the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference Championships, as the seventhseeded Falcons lost to No. 2 seeded Akron, 4-1. During the tournament, which was held at Sorensen Courts on the campus of Western Michigan, the Falcons dropped 5-of-6 singles matches and were swept in all three doubles matches as they ended their season with a dual-match record of 12-10. Freshman Katie Grubb was the only player from BG to find success in singles. In her MAC Championships singles debut, Grubb lost just three games in a straight-sets sweep of Carolina Castro Cota 6-3, 6-0. Friday’s match against the Zips also served as the last in the careers of senior co-captains Katia Babina and Samantha Kintzel. Babina dropped her opening set to Angelika Jogasuria 6-1, 6-4, while Kintzel dropped her first set to Jogasuria’s twin sister Angelina, 6-2, 6-5. In doubles, the duo of Babina and Kintzel dropped an 8-1 decision to Zara Harutyunyan and Anya Baronayte
Senior co-captain played in her final match as a Falcon
Katie Grubb Was the only Falcon to post a singles win BG coach Penny Dean will lose the services of her two seniors from her eight player roster, which will leave a huge gap as the team moves forward. Both Babina and Kintzel rank among some of the top tennis players to ever play for the Falcons. Babina finished her BG career with a 64-45 record in singles and a 66-45 record in doubles, giving her a combined record of 130-90. Babina’s 130 wins is good for 11th on BG’s all-time list for combined wins. Her senior teammate fared just as well in a Falcons’ uniform. Kintzel concluded her collegiate career with a 72-42 career singles record and a 70-41 mark in doubles to finish with an astonishing 14283 overall record — ranking 6th on BG’s all-time list for combined wins.
Golfers suffer tough weekend Falcons struggle to last place finish at MAC Championships By Christopher Rambo Reporter
All was not well for the BG men’s golf team, as they finished out their 2009-10 campaign by placing ninth at the Mid-American Conference Championships. The Falcons concluded their weekend at Longaberger Golf Club with a 72-hole total of 1232, finishing 10 strokes behind Ball State for eighth and 13 adrift of seventh-place Toledo. Kent State rolled to their second consecutive MAC title, posting a two-under total of 1150 and routing last year’s runner-up Eastern Michigan by 22 shots. The Golden Flashes also dominated individual play by sweeping the top three spots. John Hahn and Brett Cairns shared medalist honors with matching scores of threeunder 285, while freshman Mackenzie Hughes finished one shot back at 286. The Falcons were at the opposite end of the spectrum with only Matt Schneider placing inside the top 25. After it was all over, coach Garry Winger bluntly summed up his feelings:
“There aren’t really any excuses; we just did not handle the situation like we should have. The guys who are returning next year really need to make a full commitment over the summer to improve.”

Garry Winger | BG coach “I am extremely disappointed with our performance,” Winger said. “That’s really all there is to say.” Things would start poorly for the Falcons right from the get-go on Friday. During a round in which scores were high all over the course, the Falcons shot a fieldworst 320, with not a single team member breaking 80. However, BG would rebound to post scores of 300 and 298, leaving them in a tie for seventh heading into Sunday, with fifth place Ohio still well within reach at just 10 shots ahead. The Falcons were not able to take advantage though and reverted to their round one form with a disappointing 314 that dropped them to ninth.
Schneider rebounded from his first round 80 to shoot 73-7574 the rest of the way and take home a tie for 17th in his final collegiate tournament. “I love Matt and am going to miss him,” Winger said. “He didn’t play too bad, but me and him were both expecting bigger things this week after his fifth place finish last year. He is a little disappointed right now.” Another disappointed Falcon was John Powers, who shot 80-76-79-86 to bring his career to a close with a 45th place finish at 321.

Hannah (along with a teammate) dutifully went out to Forrest Creason Golf Course to practice. After a phone call from the course director to inform Young that two of her freshmen were playing by themselves in the snow, a shocked Young said while she appreciated the effort, it would be quite all right if they stopped. “Incidents like that just show what kind dedication Hannah has,” Young said. “I knew from that day forward that she had something very special inside.” Lambert was introduced to golf at a very young age by her father, Bruce, and ever since their evenings spent chipping together in the backyard, her passion for the game continues to blossom.
“My dad told me that if I played golf, it needed to be because I loved the sport,” Lambert said. “He never once forced me to play; I always looked forward to going out and practicing. I just really thank him for allowing me to enjoy the game and be free with it.” Outside the ropes, Lambert devours golf books, always eager to absorb any morsel of inspiration or advice. On the course, she has been what Young calls “one of the most coachable student-athletes I have ever had.” After admittedly being overwhelmed during her freshman year and struggling to a scoring average of 97, Lambert resolved to doing whatever was necessary to improve for her sophomore year.
Hannah Lambert Finished 42nd at the MAC Championships “I was really nervous during most of my freshman year, and I think that held me back playing-wise,” Lambert said. “I just tried to relax and focus on doing whatever was necessary to getting better every day.” Her sophomore season represented a complete turnaround.

mainstay in the Falcon starting lineup, traveling regularly with the team and serving as a solid rock for Young to count on. “Hannah has brought so many intangible factors to our team,� Young said. “Her contributions are impossible to quantify with statistics. She has always shown up and done whatever we have asked of her. She has been extremely selfless from day one.� A devout Christian who regularly attends Bible study, Lambert said her spiritual growth has undoubtedly helped with golf. “I realized that I am not playing golf just for myself, or for my family and teammates,� Lambert said. “I am also playing for God. That has helped my outlook on the game tremendously.� That assertion helps reveal that there is far more to Lambert than just golf. She is
an extremely gifted and diligent student who will graduate cum laude this weekend with a degree in architecture. Up next is graduate school at Ohio State University, which Hannah hopes will be the next step in her dream of one day becoming a golf course designer. “Academic success is a very high priority for coach Young,� Lambert said. “Every year we set a team GPA goal as well [as an] individual GPA. I have always seen school as a personal challenge to try and do my best with whatever is put in front of me.� Lambert is active in a myriad of campus activities. The notables include Kappa Phi, Mortar Board Honor Society, Athletes in Action, and the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. She has also studied abroad in London and Paris, and was named to the 2010 “Who’s Who� among students in American Colleges and Universities.

As the first graduate to spend four full years under her direction, Young said watching Lambert walk across the stage is sure to be a bittersweet moment. “Watching Hannah grow into the fine young woman she has become has been a special
