Coach's Corner

Fall is a great time to enjoy the changing colors, cooler temperatures, and carving pumpkins. Take some time this week to drop a note to a family member, make a call to a friend, or perform a random act of kindness (and don't tell anyone!)

Checkout how Millikin students are staying busy:

Jessica's reaction to her women's basketball and softball teammates participating in the Diabetes Walk on September 30:
"My Mom and I were so touched by the consideration of my teammates and friends and their showing of support. Giving up a Saturday morning for any college student is huge; but especially to think they did so to recognize my life-long battle with diabetes is really cool."
