One of the coolest college environments I’ve been in - even though it wasn’t our night. Volleyball is fun.
What a welcome back!

My first season as a softball SID has come to an end and I’m feeling really bittersweet.
Was not expecting to love this sport as much as I do now. Six cities and 45 games later, it was a stressful but great season and hoping for lots more softball in my future.

My heart has been so heavy the last 25 hours.
Please reach out if you need help. We’re here for you.
As a social media manager & SID, please remember to spread love and not hate. These amazing athletes are hard enough on themselves without critical comments.
The JMU family is devastated to have lost one of our own.
All our love and support are with Lauren’s family, her

I never talk about this on social media, but I struggled with severe anxiety and panic attacks in college and sometimes still today. It’s OK to ask for help and make your mental health a priority. If anyone ever needs to talk - I’m here. Such a sad story :(

Will say that Mary Howard is the reason I became an SID.
Working alongside Mary for three years made me a better professional, communicator and person. Glad I got soccer as my Alligator assignment my sophomore year 💚
If you’ve dealt with the UAA over the last 3-plus decades, you’ve likely dealt, been assisted by or leaned on the institutional knowledge of Mary Howard (aka “MayHo”). I wrote about my communications
