On June 14th, Isabel was ONCE AGAIN the only faculty to play for the Psychology department’s kickball event, or to show up at all (aside from the organizer, Ashleigh Maxcey, and the chair, Tom Palmeri, who disappeared after throwing the first ball). There’s always next year…
She was on the victorious team again this year, defeating a team of frankly pretty skilled undergrads, with some eager children on her team (running clockwise on the field!) and Conor Smithson as a secret weapon. Go Psychos!
Thanks to Erin, Savannah and Beth (and their kids), for helping and supporting all players.
