Women's flag football is coming to Ursinus College! 🏈

The college has launched a search for the program's inaugural head coach, with plans to welcome the first class of student-athletes in fall 2027. The team will compete in scrimmages before moving into full competitive action for the 2028–2029 season.

In January 2026, the NCAA added flag football to its Emerging Sports for Women program, with official championship status expected by 2028. Nearly 400 colleges currently field programs—and Ursinus's launch comes just ahead of the sport's debut at the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

Ursinus College has launched the APEX Fellows program, a new pilot initiative giving recent graduates hands-on, early career professional experience right here on campus. Fellows are placed in a campus department where they build real skills in areas like event management, fundraising, communications, and business development — while also getting exposure to the broader world of higher education work.

Madison Smith '26 is the college's first Annual Giving and Student Engagement Fellow, building on her experience as a student engagement officer during her time at Ursinus. Two more roles — Alumni Engagement Fellow and Corporate Relations Fellow (Athletics Partnerships) — are open now, and recent graduates from any institution are welcome to apply.

The initiative extends Ursinus's APEX: Applied. Professional. Experiential. framework beyond graduation by providing recent college graduates with entry...

Ursinus is proud to announce the launch of the college's first graduate program!

Starting in May 2027, the department of health sciences will offer a Master's in Exercise and Sport Science. The 15-month, 30-credit online program is designed to prepare students for advanced professional practice and research in exercise physiology, sport science, and health-related fields.

"This is an important moment in the history of Ursinus College and a natural next step in our evolution as an applied liberal arts institution," said President Gundolf Graml, Ph.D. "Our first graduate program builds on the strength of our health sciences programs and, importantly, extends the applied, professional, and experiential approach at the heart of an Ursinus education to graduate study. We are creating new opportunities for our own graduates while also welcoming students from across the country who are looking for a graduate education that connects rigorous academic preparation with meaningful professional practice."

The Parlee Center for Science and the Common Good at Ursinus College has launched "Nontechnically Speaking," a student-run podcast and Substack focused on science communication for general audiences. The initiative gives students hands-on experience writing for non-technical readers, interviewing, and producing digital content — skills that translate directly into careers in business, journalism, policy, media, and law, not just the sciences.

The program is led by Aubrey Paris, Ph.D. '15, director of the Parlee Center, who returned to Ursinus this summer after a decade working at the intersection of science, innovation, and policy at the U.S. Department of State. Students will receive training in science communication theory before producing periodic audio and written content, published across the podcast, Substack, and the Parlee Center's Instagram.

The new initiative gives students an opportunity to develop real-world communication skills, while building a digital portfolio.
