GLENSIDE, Pa. - The Arcadia University Department of Athletics and Recreation hosted its eighth-annual golf outing at Old York Road Country Club on Monday, June 14. The outing, which featured 135 golfers, raises funds to benefit the department and its 500-plus student-athletes.
The Knights' annual golf outing continues to grow since the time of its inaugural event in 2014, as the eighth-annual event marked the sixth-consecutive year of 100 or more registered golfers to support the department's 26 varsity programs.
