Last week we had the exciting opportunity to hear from Messiah Alumna Katelyn Boyce '23 share about her work with Dr. Clay Sneller at The Ohio State University. Students then joined her afterwords for a pizza and flower give away reception.

We love when our alumni return to share what they are doing in their fields. Have research worth sharing? Please reach out!

Overlooking campus is cemetery hill, a popular sledding destination on snow days. However, when there is no snow, it is not students who claim the slopes, but butterflies. Monarchs, bees, sulfurs, bees, variegated fritillaries, and grasshoppers were all spotted last week by our own Dr. Harms
