Mallorie
Jennings
Accounting // Bourbon, Ind.
The book is her planner. And it’s open because
she’s usually writing something down in it. And about finding her place in a Manchester
culture that values community and
encourages students like Mallorie to
experience all that it has to offer.
An accounting major at Manchester, she’s also
a pitcher for the Spartans softball team. And a
student manager for the women’s basketball team.
And the women’s basketball recruiting secretary.
And a tutor. And a member of any number of
student organizations. She came to Manchester very much within
her own shell, but her professors and coaches
pushed her to explore beyond it. And so she
now has a full planner, lifelong friends all
over campus and a captainship on the softball
team.
Her plate, in other words, is full to overflowing. And
she wouldn’t have it any other way. “When I first got to Manchester I was kind
of shy and just wanted to go with the flow,”
Jennings says. “But being at Manchester has
taught me that you’ve got to step out of your
comfort zone and just do your own thing.
Mallorie Jennings’ life is an open book.
“Balancing athletics and academics can be tough,
but I’ve kind of found a way to do it and still be
successful,” she says. “It’s all about being flexible.”
