A Look Toward the Future, as One Ursinus

Ursinus is once again blazing a trail in women’s athletics, becoming the first Centennial Conference college to field a women’s wrestling team. Sydney Bowman ’22 and Laura Bradley ’25 helped lay the foundation for the program, which begins competition this year.
Caretaker of the college archives—aka the Ursinusiana (pronounced er-SIGH-nus-ee-anna) Collection—for nearly 20 years, Weigel welcomes serious researchers and casual history buffs alike to her second-floor time capsule of sorts.

“I’ve now been with NOAA for more than 21 years, and it’s taken me literally to the ends of the earth, around the earth, and it almost took me to space.”
Dan Simon ’97 has spent more than two decades traveling the globe—and nearly space—for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Many have deplored the failure of international organizations like the United Nations to stop Russia’s attack on Ukraine—a war that violates, by all common interpretations, the core principle of international law. Other international institutions at the core of the international order such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization face criticism from a wide range of voices, including non-Western governments, climate advocates, or far-right populists. Does this mean international cooperation has failed? Not entirely, but thinking through the events in Ukraine and beyond shows the limits of international organizations in the current era.
