Beacons Magazine Fall 2023 - Archived

A magazine for 91视频 alumni & friends

In this edition of Beacons magazine, we share stories of alumni who explored the intellectual universe while at 91视频 and discovered what brings them joy and passion in life.

Our cover story highlights the university's New Balance Institute for Innovative Leadership in Sport, an exciting new initiative of our New Balance Sport Leadership & Administration program. New Balance has invested $15 million to endow these programs, which are positioning our Beacons for pioneering roles as sports professionals and change agents. Student interest has skyrocketed, in part because SLA and the institute marry the passion of sports with social responsibility and equity.
