The Student-Athletic Advisory Committee is a group of athletes nominated by their teammates to represent the individual sports at Lipscomb. Each team is allowed to have two players per team. These athletes plan, run and work with different organizations to work on raising money for these specific charities. The group’s meetings are held once every two weeks at the Hall of Fame room in Allen Arena.

Ever feel bored in your dorm room wondering what’s going on around campus? Louis Nelms, chair for the Student Activities Board, has all the answers you need to get active this semester. “Student Activities Board is a group of about 12-15 people who are involved of different aspects of campus life,” Nelms said. The group comes together every week and discusses ideas for different events to host for Lipscomb students. Nelms, with one semester already under his belt, said he couldn’t wait to get the spring semester underway. He said that we should be expecting several big events relatively soon. A Super Bowl party, a Home Run Derby and Brickyard Basketball are being planned to kick the semester off in style. If you want to relive your childhood, you’ll want to remember “90’s night.” Nelms said it’s sure to be a blast with Space Jam, Nintendo 64’s and Dunk-a-roos in the game plan. Nelms also recommends for students to stay alert for updates on Singarama. “Singarama is definitely something to look forward to. It will be April 4-6th, and you really shouldn’t miss it,” Nelms said. The theme for this year’s show was announced via email earlier this week. The theme will be Timeless, with Yesterday, Today and Forever as the group performances. Nelms said this year’s show won’t be one to miss. “It’s Singarama’s 50th anniversary, so it’s got to be a big show,” Louis said. Looking for something to do during the cold spring semester days? Nelms says that hot chocolate afternoons will be arriving at Lipscomb (with ‘four square in the Square’ also on the agenda). There are many more...
