== Werdegang ==
'''Lafayette College''', located in [[Easton, Pennsylvania]], [[United States]], in the [[Lehigh Valley]] region of [[Pennsylvania]], is an independent, undergraduate, coeducational, residential institution.
Brigitte McMahon studierte bis 1991 [[Biochemie]] an der [[ETH Zürich]] und war in den Folgejahren als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der [[Universität Zürich]] sowie auf Hawaii tätig.


1990 wurde sie Schweizer Meisterin im Schwimmen über 100 und 200 Meter Rücken. Ab 1999 startete McMahon als Profi-Triathletin. Am 16. September 2000 gewann sie bei den [[Olympische Sommerspiele 2000|Olympischen Sommerspielen]] von [[Sydney]] die [[Goldmedaille]] beim ersten olympischen Triathlon der Frauen und wurde als Schweizer Sportlerin des Jahres geehrt. Bei den Olympischen Sommerspielen vier Jahre später in [[Athen]] kam sie als 10. ins Ziel.
==Admissions and rankings==


McMahon wurde im Juni 2005 positiv auf [[Erythropoetin als Dopingmittel|EPO]] getestet und aus der Nationalmannschaft ausgeschlossen. Sie gab den Konsum von [[Doping]] zu. Gegen sie wurde eine zweijährige Sperre verhängt, sie trat darauf mit sofortiger Wirkung zurück.<ref>Stefan Eberli, Marcel Süess, Yves Zellweger: [http://www.webengine.ch/doping/geschichte/brigitte-mcmahon.php Dopingfall Brigitte McMahon]</ref>
The College is extremely selective in admissions and has a well-known reputation for academic excellence. As of 2007, ''US News and World Report'' ranks Lafayette the 30th best National Liberal Arts College in the United States. In addition, Lafayette's engineering program is ranked 4th among non-doctoral schools. Nearly half of Lafayette students study abroad during their time at the school, making it a leader even among peer institutions.


Im September 2011 wurde sie mit ihrem Fahrrad in einen Verkehrsunfall verwickelt und wurde dabei mittelschwer verletzt.<ref>Pia Wertheimer: [http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/zuerich/region/Es-zog-mir-die-Haut-ab-wie-eine-Socke/story/23832111 ''«Es zog mir die Haut ab wie eine Socke»''] Interview in: [[Tages-Anzeiger]].ch/[[Newsnet]] vom 30. November 2011.</ref>
==History==
Lafayette was founded in [[1826]] by citizens of Easton, led by local lawyers James Madison Porter and Joel Jones, and Jacob Wagener, an amateur botanist and mineralogist.


In [[Kitzbühel]] wurde sie im Juni 2014 in der Altersklasse 45-49 Triathlon-Europameisterin sowohl auf der Sprintdistanz als auch der Olympischen Kurzdistanz.Im Juli 2015 wurde sie in [[Genf]] Vize-Europameisterin auf der Triathlon-Sprintdistanz (0,75 km Schwimmen, 20 km Radfahren und 5 km Laufen).
The initial prospectus called for a college "combining a course of practical Military Science with the course of Literature and General Science pursued in the Colleges of our Country." This unique educational philosophy led Lafayette to become the first institution to give a degree in [[engineering]].


Heute ist sie als Lehrerin tätig, unter anderem an der [[Kantonsschule Kollegium Schwyz]]. Ausserdem bietet sie Coaching im Bereich Trainingsplanung und Trainingsbegleitung für Firmen und private Kunden an.
Porter had met the French [[Revolutionary War]] hero [[Gilbert du Motier, marquis de La Fayette|Marquis de Lafayette]] during his farewell tour of America and urged that they name the new college for him as "a testimony of respect for (his) talents, virtues, and signal services .... the great cause of freedom."


== Sportliche Erfolge ==
The governor of Pennsylvania signed the new college's charter on [[March 9]], [[1826]]. However, it was not until [[1832]] that the Rev. George Junkin took up the charter and moved the curriculum and student body of the Manual Labor Academy of Pennsylvania from [[Germantown, Pennsylvania]].

*The [[Phi Kappa Psi]] fraternity house was in the ''[[Guinness Book of World Records]]'' for a number of years as the largest free standing structure ever moved. Built in 1908 the "Old Grey Barn" stood just in front of Markle Hall on the campus Quad. The college wanted to build an addition to its Skillman Library at that location, with the house standing in their way. A deal was reached, and the school agreed to move the house at their expense to its current location on March Field, while the chapter kept ownership of the house. The move was conducted on July 1, 1971, to a crowd of press and onlookers. In 2003 the alumni and current brothers who owned the house in a LLC named the "Penn Theta Housing Corporation", began a capital campaign to raise 1.6 million dollars to renovate the "Old Grey Barn" and bring it up to code, to the dismay of the administration who had hoped to purchase the building. Ground was broke on the renovation at the Lafayette homecoming football game on October 21, 2006. The bank KNBT delivered a check for 1.2 million dollars on that day to cover the costs of renovation. Currently the Pennsylvania Theta chapter has raised over 50% of the 1.6 million needed in funds intended to cover not only renovation costs, but refurnishing of the building and increased academic scholarships for brothers.

*Students enjoy debating what is really on the 5th floor of Pardee Hall. While some students have claimed that confiscated kegs from partying heydays were stored there, the 5th floor of the building is actually just a storage space and a glorified custodial closet.

*Pardee Hall was devastated by fire twice in the 1800s. One fire began when a science experiment was carelessly left in a drawer. The other fire was arson, deliberately set by (ironically) a professor of moral philosophy, who reportedly enjoyed watching the building burn from across the [[Delaware River]] in [[Phillipsburg, New Jersey]].

*Colton Chapel is a popular wedding location for Lafayette alumni, many of whom fall in love during their four years at the school.

*Farinon Center, the student union, was architecturally inspired by the McKelvy House, a college-owned mansion just off campus. Farinon has, at some points, been known as "F-Non" in Lafayette slang. While the top floor of Farinon is an "all-you-can-eat" style buffet payed for in blocks from a meal plan, the downstairs or "d-non" as it has become refered to, is a station based food court in which students pay itemized fees for food. The dining area for the downstairs area also serves as the stage for comedy acts brought in by the activities committee of the college.

*Gilbert's, a pub-like coffeehouse in Kirby Hall, was opened in 1999 to provide a late-night hangout for students. Its name was the subject of a contest, and the winning student selected one of the Marquis de Lafayette's middle names: Gilbert. Recently, a sinkhole was discovered underneath Kirby Hall, and the much-beloved coffeehouse (as well as the dormitory) was closed for the spring semester of 2006. However, it was reopened for the fall semester. Gilbert's is famous on campus for its nachos, which are so large that they are given to students in a pizza box, these nachos are a popular snack for students late at night weither they be partying or studying. Gilbert's also is the site of many open mic nights where student bands can preform for their fellow classmates. In the fall of 2006 Lafayette College signed a deal with MTV to designate the campus as an MTVu campus. As a result Lafayette hosted, for its spring concert, an MTVu concert - as opposed to the regular concert chosen by the student government. In accordance with the contract the television in Gilbert's is tuned to the newly formed MTVu network.

*During the winter, or after a drenching spring rain, sledding is popular on the hill "behind" Pardee Hall. Although Pardee Hall is truly oriented southward, with the gently sloping hill leading to its front entrance, the students refer to this as the "back" of Pardee because the other side (the true back) faces the Quad. The most popular sleds are stolen trays from one of the two dining halls on campus.

*The Kirby Hall of Civil Rights, the interior of which is constructed of travertine marble, was rumored to have been the most expensive collegiate building, per square foot, built at its time. Fred M. Kirby was criticized by many for spending so much money on the building during the Great Depression. To answer them, he had emblazoned across the front of the building a quote from the Bible that states "is it not my right to do what I will with mine own." Prof Lennertz's Government 101 class, taught in the building, begins with a reading of the quote. The building was designed by the same architectural firm that designed [[New York City]]'s [[Grand Central Terminal]].

==WJRH 104.9FM==
The campus radio station, WJRH 104.9FM, first established licensure with the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) in 1946, broadcasting under a Class D educational license on 90.5 FM. As [[FM]] frequencies grew in demand, the FCC mandated that stations operating in the frequency range currently provided to WJRH increase their power to serve larger audiences. Since WJRH was only to serve the Lafayette community, it was decided to give the frequency to another facility and relocate to its current home frequency, 104.9. WJRH alumni have become influential individuals in the broadcasting field, ranging from Engineering Directors for networks such as the [[American Broadcasting Company]], to public broadcasting policy makers.

The station is constantly being upgraded with the latest broadcasting technology, as well as organizational changes. Several additions have included the relaunch of WJRH Broadband (a live [[Windows Media Player]] stream available to Lafayette students) and [http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~wjrh/podcastdatabase.htm WJRH PC] (an online database of MP3 [[Podcasts]] of select shows as part of an overall website renovation).

Over the past couple years, there has been a drive for select student broadcasters to DJ parties on campus. This has been met with great approval by students.

WJRH has been housed for over 30 years in its current location, Hogg Hall. The station's web site is: [http://www.lafayette.edu/~wjrh WJRH 104.9FM]. Lafayette can also be watched on television on the Lafayette Sports Network from various outlets.

Lafayette has made two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division I-AA football tournament. The men's basketball program has a long history, peaking in the late nineties under the leadership of Fran O'Hanlon, who led the Leopards to back-to-back Patriot League championships and NCAA Tournament appearances in 1999 and 2000. These seasons were documented by [[John Feinstein]] in his book,[[The Last Amateurs]].
