Through athletics, students learn about leadership, dedication, commitment, organization, teamwork, and other life skills. I was saddened when I read your latest post about M.I.T. one of the top institutes in the nation having to cut their sports, one of the things that gives these already amazing students another competitive edge. <br /><br />I also think that I indirectly learned that Philadelphia University cut their field hockey team...<br /><br />http://www.philaurams.com/sports/fh/2008-09/news/1-20-09_FH_droppedLibby Segalhttp://www.speakwithoutinterruption.com/site/author/libbys/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5197764866626488238.post-63056894814072035322009-04-12T20:39:00.000-05:002009-04-12T20:39:00.000-05:00I appreciate the information about Kutztown.
