After the guest panel discussion, we have allotted time for our guest speakers to work with students on their resumes and answer any further questions the students may have left to ask. This is a rare opportunity for you to receive one-on-one advice from professionals in the workplace.

On Tuesday the U.S. Men’s National team will host Paraguay on LP Field at 7 p.m. Today, however, the teams might be practicing on Lipscomb’s campus — at least that’s what the rumor mill is churning out. Sources say that the Paraguay team is practicing on campus today for certain, but no time has been given. There have been no confirmations that the U.S. team will practice here. [Check back later today for photos from the practice(s). If they happen, we’ll have the photos here first!] Last time the U.S. men’s national team visited Nashville, young striker Jozi Altidore scored three goals in the win over Trinidad and Tobago. Altidore, 21, is looking to make more of an impact on the team leading up to the next World Cup. Altidore failed to score in the 2010 World Cup, hosted by South Africa. On Sunday there had been over 20,000 tickets sold for the game in downtown Nashville tomorrow. While that is down from the 2009 World Cup Qualifier of 28,000, those were the numbers that the city was planning on. The U.S. team recently played superstar Lionel Messi’s team from Argentina. The U.S. came from one goal down in the second half to bring the game to a 1-1 draw. Youthful forward Juan Agudelo scored for the U.S. team following a free kick. If you happen to be going to the game, make sure you arrive early. There will be throngs of people downtown, and parking is as bad as ever with the new convention center being built. There’s also a Nashville Predators game downtown tomorrow, which will only...

Last night on Survivor, things got deep. Our friend and classmate, Matt Elrod, is still on Redemption Island. At the end of last week’s episode we learned who was going to be joining him there. Krista Klumpp, a pharmaceutical rep from South Carolina, was to be Matt’s next competition. Usually when two people compete on a reality show it is very bitter and lots of hatred is involved. However, last night was different. After talking to one another, Matt and Krista soon found out that they were both believers in Christ. While the two prepared for their challenge, they prayed together. “He seems to have more substance than most of the people I’ve been on a team with for the past 13 days,” Klumpp said on the show. Matt had similar views of Krista, like how much of a relief it was to talk to someone with similar interests. “Krista’s different from the other competitors I’ve faced for one key reason,” Elrod said. “It’s just that both of us have really been struggling with not having a faith community and other believers to kind of lean on and talk with about our beliefs and how we feel.” Ultimately, Matt won the challenge on the island. The pair had to throw grappling hooks at three separate bags with balls in them to retrieve them. Once they got the bags, navigating the ball through a maze by tilting a board was the objective. Matt failed on his first attempt, and so did Krista. However, on the second try, Matt was able to guide the ball in the final hole. It was...
