Nearly naked ... again
The Nearly Naked Mile returned to campus on Thursday, Nov. 19. This year, students shed “nearly all" their clothes—or dressed Jamaican-style—to race a mile in chilly weather, raising funds to send 13 pre-professional health students on an interfaith and medical service trip to Jamaica in January. A doctor and nurse from TriHealth, and Rabbi Abie Ingber, founding director of Xavier’s Office of Interfaith Community Engagement, will accompany students on the trip. |
