Congratulations to Business Communication senior Kali Martin, who was asked to chronicle her field hockey team's year for the Huffington Post. She wrote about her coach (and mother's) 2016 battle with breast cancer here, as well as the team's role in supporting and encouraging their coach and each other. Her story reflects on what is possible when a group of players refuse to give in to hardship and defeat. Read Kali's article here.
