This really has nothing to do with the topic we're on currently, but I found this article in the Detroit News about how Adrian College is boosting attendance - and academic performance - by actively recruiting athletes & improving athletic facilities (although it could maybe be considered a profile of a place, but it's probably more of a feature, right?).
Athletes are pumping up Adrian College
As an athlete at 'K', I have felt for a long time that such a measure would greatly improve the overall community on campus - athletes and non-athletes alike. Focusing on nutrition, health, and overall wellness, in my opinion, always breeds smart, fun-loving, engaged, happy people. Adrian College has set an excellent example as a small, liberal-arts college doing something about their 'downward spiral'. This is an example that I feel that 'K' can and should follow.
Thankfully, the next capital campaign of the college is probably going to be for a new/improved campus fitness facility - and not just for athletes. All students can benefit from a little active stress-relief, and until the facility can be built, the campus should be brainstorming ways we can ameliorate the situation in the near future. GO HORNETS!
