The new look Bisons
The Lipscomb Men’s basketball season just ended, and the Bisons will not look the same when the season starts next year. The Bisons only have two seniors, but unfortunately, they are two very important players who play a huge role at Lipscomb University. Matt Schner First is Matt Schner. Matt transferred to Lipscomb this year for his final season of college basketball.

The meticulous process of deciding on-campus dining options at Lipscomb
It can be difficult for your “everyday college student” to find reasonable eating options outside of their college campus. Restaurants can be expensive, and ordering food can add up just as easily. Fast food can be convenient but we set trade-off healthy eating practices for low cost and easy accessibility. Neither option is necessarily conducive for anyone that simply wants to eat a high-quality meal at a low cost and with low effort. This is why quality eating options on campus grounds are so important for any college or university. So what are some solutions to this? Is it possible for students to eat a high-quality meal for with low…

The Grand Ole Guitar

The scoreboard was located at the Triple-A minor league team’s former longtime home at Greer Stadium at Fourth Avenue South and Chestnut Street in Nashville.

Data narratives: introductions
This semester, the Data and Interactive Journalism class will publish a series exploring a variety of topics through data visualization. The series takes inspiration from the book Dear Data by Giorgia Lupi and Stefanie Posavec. Dear Data is a visual and narrative record of a year-long project where the authors exchanged postcards weekly. These hand-drawing data visualizations represented different aspects of their lives. We will use a similar approach to create visualizations and reflect on our personal experiences and emotions through data. Our first topic is introductions and connection. It is easy to feel disconnected from others in today’s fast-paced and often impersonal world. But as humans, we have a…
