Swarthmore College's Riley Thompson, a mathematics major and member of the women's swimming team, joins Brandon Hodnett on the Return To Play podcast to discuss what it was like for her to try to return to the US from Jamaica when the world shut down, her forensics research on campus modeling fingerprint analysts complex decisions, and her interest in peace and conflict courses at Swarthmore.

This new mini-series of podcasts called Return To Play, highlights student-athletes who are ready to return to competition in the 2021-22 school year. Adjusting to life away from teammates and away from intercollegiate competition was a major change, but also provided these Garnet student-athletes opportunities to do things they might not have had the chance to do otherwise.
