The Stormy Petrel is a mascot made infamous by how recognizably bizarre it is, but the school it represents is home to a burgeoning men’s lacrosse program in Brookhaven, Georgia.
The Oglethorpe University men’s lacrosse team won their first game under new head coach Kyle Morris last Friday by beating Brevard College 10-3. It was also Morris’ first-ever win as a college head coach.

Rev. Naomi Tutu to speak virtually at CSU on March 24 22 Mar, 2021
Rev. Nontombi Naomi Tutu, race and gender justice activist as well as the daughter of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, will speak virtually at Colorado State University on March 24 at 3 p.m. Mountain Time.
The talk is presented as part of the Global Engagement Distinguished Speaker Lecture series by CSU’s Office of International Programs and sponsored by First National Bank of Omaha. The Zoom event will be free and open to the public, but registration is required.
Rev. Tutu uses the challenges she faced growing up Black and female in apartheid South Africa to inspire her activism for human rights. Her experiences taught her that, as she explains, “our whole human family loses when we accept situations of oppression, and how the teaching and preaching hate and division injure us all.”
Brevard College president to retire in December
The 13th president of Brevard College, the Rev. David C. Joyce, will retire on Dec. 31.
Joyce announced his plan to retire at a meeting of the college s Board of Trustees last week. He and his wife, Lynne, have served more than 25 years in presidencies at three residential private liberal arts colleges in Kentucky and Wisconsin prior to the last 10 years in Brevard, Joyce said. We have seen this role as a partnership and have been blessed beyond our wildest dreams during these years, he said. It has been an honor and a privilege to work with wonderful faculty, staff, students and community members at each college. There is a distinction that the small liberal arts college brings to the landscape of higher education.
