As a student-athlete, Ursinus Hall-of-Famer Jess Lamina Gray ’08 was an All-American, All-Conference field hockey stalwart. Now, she’s excelling in a different field: farming.
He became Ursinus College’s new Vice President for Enrollment Management in January. He’s passionate about helping students find their path and passion through an undergraduate college experience, and he loves reading, music, and has been known to attend a concert or two. Get to know Mike.
“So many fans want to know all about the real mascots.”
Mascots like Gritty, the Phillie Phanatic, and Swoop are ingrained in Philadelphia sports culture and are as recognizable as the teams and players. They are a symbol of fandom and team pride. But for the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles, that symbolism extends beyond a costumed caricature. Their two live Eagle mascots are a huge part of the gameday experience, and Ursinus alumna Elisa Tyler ’14 is partially responsible for their care and training.

The censorship of books in schools is again making waves across the country, but when you look at what gets challenged and what’s on these lists, you can see the trends and make some inferences as to what is really threatening for those who want to remove certain stories from libraries and schools.
