#AlumniFeature: Jackie Harwood

October 20, 2020

With only a few athletic teams competing this fall, we knew the Olivet College fans are going to miss sports just as much as our student-athletes, coaches and athletic staff. We are hoping to fill that void by having some special content on our website throughout the semester. On Tuesdays, we will be posting #AlumniFeatures with some questions and answers from alumni. If you would like to be featured, please send the answers to the questions at the bottom of this page to Geoff Henson at ghenson@olivetcollege.edu.
