When deciding this year’s Jack & Nancy Flannery Salute to Courage Award, Lawrence County YMCA committee members said there was only one name considered.
Students create group chat to document rabbit sightings around campus
Rabbit sightings across campus have sparked students to share pictures and videos in a GroupeMe chat, amassing over 230 members.
The chat, “nu bunny watching,” was created by Medill freshman Frankie Lucco in April. Even though the chat originally started as Lucco and a few friends, it soon became a larger group of students sharing sightings of bunnies on campus, she said.
Lucco said she was inspired to start the group chat after a friend at the University of Illinois told her about the school’s squirrel watching club. Lucco said that one of her favorite parts of the chat is sharing memes and humorous content about the rabbits.
