Pierre Morton has a goal for his first 90 days as Chief Diversity Officer at Franklin Pierce University, and it’s actually very simple. He wants to listen, hear what others have to say, and create another avenue for change.

Ravens roll Keene State
Back on the field for the first time since the end of the 2019 season, the Franklin Pierce University field hockey team filled up the net early and often on Thursday night at Sodexo Field. Freshman Anna Beck scored twice, while sophomore Meghan Winn added a goal and an assist, and freshman Alannah Johnson of Greenville added an assist in her collegiate debut as the Ravens rolled over fellow Cheshire County institution Keene State in non-conference play, 6-0.
