The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is recommending EVERYONE over 6 months of age to get a seasonal flu shot this year. We will start giving shots to university students, faculty, and staff on Tuesday, October 12th. It will be $18 for the shot and can be paid by cash, check, or charged to L-accounts for students. Vaccination is the BEST way to prevent getting the flu, or spreading it to someone else. The College of Pharmacy has several flu shot clinics set up that will make it easy to receive your flu shot. Please make plans to come to one of these clinics. This is the fastest and most convenient way to get vaccinated this year. Tuesday, October 12 from 1:30–4:00 P.M. on the main floor of the Bennett Campus Center Tuesday, October 26 from 12 noon–4:00 P.M. in the flex space of the Burton Building Tuesday, November 16 from 12 noon–4:00 P.M. on the top floor of the Bennett Campus Center Anyone who falls into a high-risk category listed below may come to the Health Center on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday next week to get their flu shot. Because of higher demands and activity in the Health Center, flu shots will be given in the Health Center from 7:45 to 9 A.M. and 3:30 to 4:30 P.M. We only have a limited supply of flu shots at the moment which is the reason we cannot start vaccinating everyone right away. High-risk categories for flu vaccination are: are aged 50 years and older; have chronic pulmonary (including asthma), cardiovascular (except hypertension), renal, hepatic, neurologic, hematologic, or metabolic...

Forty trips, seven states, 21 countries. Lipscomb University’s variety of mission opportunities for its students seems endless. The Missions Fair, taking place on Oct. 5 this year, will allow students the opportunity to learn about all of Lipscomb’s mission opportunities. There are several different types of trips that are offered during the fall, winter, spring and summer breaks. Some trips are major-specific, while others are limited to gender, but the majority of the trips are open to all. An engineering trip scheduled for winter break will take 16 students to Coban, Guatemala. This year’s team will be working to build a mechanical lift system to help the community. The mission department says this batch of mission participants will be “comprised of students who will help assist training water committees as a part of the Community Water Project Plan of Action.” The trip is scheduled to take place Jan. 1-8 and will cost about $1,300. Applications are still available. Contact Kristopher Hatchell at: kristopher.hatchell@lipscomb.edu for more information. There are 22 mission trips scheduled for spring break. The Dallas/Fort Worth trip is in its third year of service to the area. The team works with a Hispanic church to provide any kind of work or fill the needs of the congregation and community. In past years, the groups have worked to renovate the church, community work and outreach and have a traditional community fiesta. “It is a small trip, so you get close to the people you go with,” says Charli Shelby, a junior English major and veteran of this trip. Shelby points out that a part of the work simply...

Ever wish you could have breakfast at 10:10? Or a late night dinner after your first dinner? Now you can. Roy Platt, Lipscomb Dining/Sodexo’s General Manager announced in chapel today and major change in how meals can be used on campus. “You now have three meals a day that you can use anytime during the day,” said Platt. Allen Arena erupted in cheers and applause from students. “There are times late at night when I’m hungry and I want something to eat but I can’t because I’ve already had dinner,” said Jamin Craig, a freshman from Nashville. “So I really like [the change] if I didn’t eat breakfast or lunch that day.” Some students found some humor in the change and feel it’s a welcome but incomplete one. “I’m going to get all three meals at 8 a.m.,” said Sawyer Wallace, a junior bible and theater major from Alabama. “I think it’s a good change but I’m still paying $8.50 per meal for a $6 meal plan.” Sodexo’s meal plans have been under scrutiny from students for some time, but this change has brought some welcome relief for some from restrictions placed on those plans from the...

Reclaim Tomorrow, a program to aid Nashville’s unemployed with the job search process, was created in April 2009 by Lipscomb University’s College of Business to help those affected by the recession. “The purpose is really to support people in career transition,” said Melissa Lowry, director of the program. “Our main objective is to provide networking.” Reclaim Tomorrow operates the Professional Resource Center, which offers career coaching, resume building and weekly sessions with executives. It also hosts a six-week series to help participants deal with career transition. Lowry said the first week is “coping and thriving in the job search.” The second week of the program educates participants about how their personalities influence their jobs. Week three is focused on networking, and the fourth week offers insight from job recruiters. Week five culminates in a discussion of interviewing procedures, and finally, week six consists of mock interviews. “Reclaim Tomorrow is just giving them hope for the next stage of their career transition,” Lowry said. Lowry said the center also has 15 computers donated by Apple to provide job seekers with resources and a reliable place to spend time developing their career profile. Reclaim Tomorrow offers its services for no cost, so seven companies sponsor the program by donating supplies as an effort to support the community. “[The program] is not a revenue generator,” Lowry said. “Everything was donated to us when we opened.” Lowry said the best part of her job is hearing participants talk about their circumstances and then being able to give them hope. “The people’s faces light up,” she said. Reclaim Tomorrow meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at...
