The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is very proud of alumna Desiree Linden, who became the first American woman in 33 years to win the Boston Marathon.
Linden pushed through icy wind gusts and rain-slicked asphalt on April 16 to finish the marathon in 2 hours, 39 minutes, 54 seconds.
Linden received two bachelor’s degrees in religious studies and psychology from Arizona State University in 2006.
