Miss Lipscomb recipient Lauren King has a passion for people and for the university. A rising senior and Nashville native, King is a Bible major with a youth ministry and preaching emphasis. “I love Lipscomb a whole lot, and working for admissions has even grown my love for Lipscomb, just knowing more about our school and what we do and the effort that we put to get students here,” King said. At first, King did not expect to be able to come to Lipscomb. However, her involvement with non-profit Christian-based organization RAVE ministries opened up the opportunity to be a part of this campus. “I’ve just tried to make this experience as much as I possibly can with my involvement that I’ve grown on campus,” King said. “It’s just been awesome to be more involved in the community.” King gets to travel around to schools, churches and youth rallies to speak to teenage girls about gossip, self-image and sexual temptations. “My involvement in RAVE helped me find my desire for youth ministry and one of the reasons why I’m a ministry major,” King said, “I’ve gotten to meet some really cool girls around the country that I’ve gotten to build relationships with.” King enjoys building relationships with people both on and off campus. One of her favorite things about Lipscomb, she said, is the community. “I just know that it’s a dream for me to come to Lipscomb,” King said. “I love this community so much and what it means to me.” Besides working with Lipscomb admissions and RAVE ministries, King is also a member of social club Pi...

Originally written for Lipscomb’s website. Running for governor, county office and city mayor are just some of the many activities that high school girls from counties across the Volunteer state get to partake in at the 2014 American Legion Auxiliary Volunteer Girls State camp hosted at Lipscomb University, May 25-31. Since 2010, as many as 550 high school girls have been coming to Lipscomb’s campus for a one-week camp where they form cities and run their own government, all while crafting citizenship responsibilities and leadership skills. This year, a new record of attendance was set by 573 studious girls. Before Lipscomb, Girls State called Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) home. “Our move to Lipscomb from MTSU offered us a smaller venue which meant we could move over 500 girls more easily across campus,” said Kathy Edwards, executive counselor for Volunteer Girls State. “With additional rooms within the same vicinity, we were able to expand from a 12 city Girls State to 14 cities.” Edwards said the girls have benefitted from Lipscomb’s campus as well. “It’s been a wonderful opportunity for them to see what Lipscomb has to offer,” she said. “It feels like we’re in our own little heaven here. The security, the staff and administration have been wonderful to work with. It shows that we’re working with a school that knows hospitality.” The students had the chance to run their own city mayor elections and council meetings. Baily-Anna Teague, a rising senior from McNairy Central High School in Selmer, Tenn., was elected city mayor of Taylor City. Teague says she’s not only learned all about the elements of...
