Introducing Herd Media
We are Herd Media. As our predecessors in Lipscomb student media have done on multiple occasions since our beginning in 1923, we usher in a new name, identity, and direction for our content nearly a century later in 2022. Lumination Network has officially become Herd Media, Lipscomb’s student media outlet and the flagship offering of the Department of Communication and Journalism. Lumination Network, the previous moniker for Lipscomb’s student media source, saw a transition from a printed, physical newspaper to all-online news content. Rather than casting Lumination aside and starting anew, Herd Media stands to build on and continue the online journalism base that Lumination established. Specifically, Herd Media will…

LeBron Hill reveals experience of living in homeless shelter during holiday season
Republished from Lumination Network, Nov. 19, 2017. With the holidays coming up, people will often spend some time giving back; one of the most popular ways to do this is by volunteering at a homeless shelter. This time of the year brings back memories of my experience in a shelter…not working there, but living there. When I first arrived at the shelter at the age of 18, I began to fall into a depression. The cold and dark November days represented how I felt — alone and without a home. The shelter was just a house, filled with strangers who were there through a common experience of abandonment. We would spend time around…

Lipscomb’s executive chef tops Belmont counterpart in “Battle of the Chefs”
Republished from Lumination Network, Nov. 7, 2013. While the first Battle of the Boulevard has yet to tip off, one battle has already been won. For the first time in a while, Lipscomb and Belmont’s chef clashed in the Battle of the Chefs on Thursday in the Bison Cafe. Lipscomb’s Executive Chef Anthony Bates won the competition, defeating Belmont’s executive chef William Finnegan by a slim margin. The event was held the day before the Bisons and the Bruins play in Allen Arena in the first Battle of the Boulevard this season. James Perry, Sodexo’s District Marketing Manager, said that the event is more of a friendly contest. “It’s meant to [be] a…

For Belmont, a national champion for Lipscomb means stealing a mascot
Republished from Lumination Network, Feb. 1, 2012. Today, we had a little fun with the rivalry. If you listen to the “Herd That” Podcast from last night, we told you a little about the antics that go along with the Battle of the Boulevard. Sure, Lipscomb students have put dye in the Bruins’ fountains, Belmont has taken our championship banner, and some former Bisons also took down John the Baptist – the statue, of course. However, when Belmont College students stole LU Bison’s head, the presses did everything but stop. The Feb. 20, 1986, issue of the Babbler is littered with articles about the thieving Rebels from Belmont. Below, there…

1973: The year a struggling Bison team took down Belmont
Republished from Lumination Network, Jan 31., 2012. Leading up to the first installment of the “cross-town rivalry” of the ’72-’73 season, the two previous games between Belmont and Lipscomb had been decided by a total of five points. The next game would not be that much different. The Bisons took the lead early on, and survived a late first-half run from the Rebels to take a four-point lead into the locker room. Bisons coach Mike Clark took his very young team back out to the floor in McQuiddy only to lose the lead to the Rebels. However, with four minutes to go in the game, the Bisons took the lead…

Wolfman fails to bring originality
The Wolfman follows the formula of a typical werewolf movie, but its writers failed to contribute anything original to the storyline.
