Sophia (aka Sophie) Nam, a doctoral candidate in counseling psychology at the Lynch Graduate School of Education, is anything but geographically constrained. She was born in South Korea, moved to the Czech Republic, and then in high school left her family to move to the United States.

	Luke Kuechly: ACC Defensive Player of the Year By Julianne Wojno December 6, 2011 - 12:00am “After my junior year in high school is when I realized I could be alright,” says Luke Kuechly.

As the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, averaging 15.92 tackles a game for BC with a total of 191 tackles and 532 stops just three years into his career, Kuechly is a household name in BC football and in college football nationwide.

The Award is presented to the nation’s top linebacker. No big deal. ...

And we’re certainly not asking Hillside, Eagles, or the Bean Counter. But through the work of a new group on campus, we will soon be asking football, hockey, or basketball. READ MORE
