Lipscomb University’s AMA hikes for the homeless
One of the biggest items on a resume is volunteer work. Students can join the American Marketing Association (AMA) at Lipscomb University to gain experience in marketing and be given chances to serve their community. Every year, AMA attends a service project around the Nashville area to serve their community and raise awareness for the organization. This year, they are attending Hike for Safe Haven hosted by Safe Haven Family Shelter. The Lipscomb University chapter of the American Marketing Association will attend the Hike for the Homeless event hosted by Safe Haven Family Shelter (a shelter that strives to end family homelessness in the Tennessee area). The event begins at…

Volunteers needed to study trauma effects
As we all know, there are challenges when a student transitions from high school to college. But are there unique problems for those who have survived “difficult” childhoods? A Lipscomb graduate student has designed a survey to investigate the effects of trauma later in life. Baljeet Loaee, a psychology graduate student has launched a study of “the association between childhood maltreatment and student adaptation to college and their academic performance.” The study is built around a 30 to 45 minute survey for students over 18 years old. Loaee says there is not much evidence on the impact of childhood trauma on undergraduate students and their adaptation to college. “This research will…

The countdown to the Artemis launch begins again
First it was scheduled for late August, then early September. Now NASA’s highly anticipated debut of Artemis, a new Space Launch System rocket is set for November 14. The long delay in this moon mission can be blamed on Hurricane Ian and a potentially troublesome hydrogen leak, according to NASA. But no it appears all systems are ready to go. The Artemis program is trailblazing an entirely new future of space exploration. The purpose of the $35 billion dollar program is to build a global alliance and explore deeper into space. NASA is building an Artemis Base Camp on the moon’s surface and an orbiting station called Gateway. Gateway will…

Parking on campus: is it as bad as you think?
Parking is a problem that Lipscomb University has faced since (what seems like) the beginning of time. It’s maddening. It’s frustrating. It’s… maybe not as bad as you think. There are 1,367 spots on this campus for students, including the 68 handicap-accessible spots. That number seems pretty irrelevant when it takes 20 minutes to find a parking spot on campus, but maybe we just aren’t looking in the right place.

Halloween dodgeball returns for a spooky season
The crowd is roaring. The competition is ruthless. A nun is on the ground. Madness has just begun. Each year for nearly two decades, the Student Activities Board hosts the fabled Halloween Dodgeball Tournament. A fight-club style evening where students of all ages come together in one cage. Teams enter in groups of five, and united by their choice of costumes, play for a championship. The tournament is October 28th at 8 p.m. in Fanning Hall and is a centerpiece of Lipscomb’s annual Hallo-Week festivities. A fenced-in court replaces the Fanning courtyard, and spectators pack the floors of the building and watch the action mirroring a colosseum. Rather than gathering to…

President pioneers hub for student resources
According to Angel Bebout, University Registrar, the registrar’s office could be “considered the blood of the body,” the body being Lipscomb University. The same could probably be said about Campus Security, Financial Aid, and the IT office. From admission to graduation, these offices are with students every step of the way and have the potential to improve their college experience. In the past several years, many students have had negative experiences when dealing with these offices; this has led to stress, frustration, and uncertainty. When finding a solution, President McQueen set the focus on students. Bison One Stop is a hub created to answer students’ urgent questions about topics affecting…

Winans, Wilson dominate at Doves
Lipscomb hosted the 53rd annual Dove Awards at Allen Arena Tuesday, welcoming the Gospel Music Association (GMA) and honoring its picks for the best Christian music and entertainment across various genres. Chris Tomlin and Erica Campbell were the hosts of GMA’s flagship event, while other stars such as TobyMac, Maverick City Music, and Phil Wickham graced the stage at Allen Arena during the performance. Lipscomb prepared for the event by completely transforming the Student Activities Center. Completely decked out with a red carpet, a press room, and interview booths, it was a hive of hype hardly recognizable to students. The day started around 3:30 p.m. when artists, presenters and more…

McDonald’s memories
I remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting in the family van, listening to early 2000s hits, when the golden arches suddenly appeared. I began to salivate, knowing that in just a few moments, I would have a delicious burger, drink, fries, and a toy in my hands. Years later, McDonald’s is giving me and millions of others the chance to relive their finest childhood moments for a pretty hefty price. The idea for this clever marketing ploy was cultivated by Cactus Plant Flea Market, a unique fashion concept created by Cynthia Lu. It has since evolved into a cash cow for McDonald’s, which now includes exclusive clothing and the…
