We were excited to have two Longwood alums who are nieces of Blanche Badger visit the department when they were here for Alumni Weekend! Pictured are sisters Cindy Crisp Wilson (’74) and Mandy Crisp Watts (’77) standing in front of a picture of Blanch Crisp Badger. Blanche Badger is one of the namesakes of our departmental Badger-Magnifico award that we give each year to our top two students.
