Lipscomb expands support as student food insecurity rises
As federal SNAP benefits remain limited, the conversation about food insecurity is growing. Dr. Autumn Marshall, chair of Lipscomb’s Department of Nutrition and a registered dietitian, said people underestimate how common food insecurity is on college campuses. “I was really surprised when I did some digging on this, that about 19% of college students experience some level of food insecurity,” Marshall said. “Typically, the ones who live on campus, that’s not a problem because they’re required to have a meal plan. But students who move off campus to save money or who are living at home may be experiencing food insecurity, especially if they’re not able to work as much…

Lipscomb.bad.parking returns to Instagram
Comedic student-led university Instagram accounts are a staple on many college campuses, and Lipscomb University is no exception to that rule. Over the years, Lipscomb has had many such accounts, all varying in topic but all bringing laughter to Lipscomb students. These accounts include Lipscomb Crushes, Lipscomb Bananas, Lipscomb Fizz, and the fairly infamous Lipscomb Quotes. The accounts are all run by students, and live and die as the students graduate and leave. However, they are often taken up again and rebooted by students that follow them. One such account has recently been revived – the “Lipscomb.bad.parking” account. Students around campus take photos of cars and trucks that park poorly…
