Hello, fellow Bisons! With school starting back this Monday (I know — I can’t believe it either!), I thought I would introduce myself. My name is Erin Franklin, and, as you may have noticed, I assumed the role of Editor-in-Chief of Lumination this past summer. The position was previously held by the very talented Erin Turner, and I am honored to follow in her footsteps.
I’m an incoming sophomore and a Journalism and New Media major. I hail from Mount Juliet, Tennessee –for those of you not from this area, MJ is a town just east of Nashville.
As editor, I’m looking forward to the growth of this web site, and I hope to continue to build the site into something that all students, alums, faculty and parents read each day. Something I particularly hope to do is bring world-news stories with a Lipscomb focus to Lumination.
I most certainly couldn’t do it alone, though! We have many talented students contributing to Lumination this year:
- Becca Risley and Anna Rogers, two very accomplished writers and photographers, are our two Managing Editors.
- KJ Lauck and Lindsey Nance are bringing their sports expertise to the staff as our Sports Editor and Assistant Sports Editor, respectively.
- Jade Spilka will keep you updated in the world of entertainment as our Arts and Entertainment Editor.
- Ben Davis, along with his trusty camera, is back as our Chief Photographer.
- Daniel Johnson is taking care of all of the complicated tech stuff as our Web Developer.
We also have many more gifted writers and photographers on the Lumination staff.
With Lumination radio, Anna McClure will continue to be the Program Director and Patrick Carpenter is continuing as the Sports Director.
Overseen by students, the Lumination TV Newscast is also prepared to bring you the latest news right into your dorm room. You can view the newscast two ways — via the on-campus cable channel 97-1 and through luminationnetwork.com/tv.
It’s going to be a busy and exciting year here at Lipscomb, so make sure to stay updated on what’s happening on campus by following Lumination Network on Twitter and by liking us on Facebook.
If you are interested in joining the Lumination staff, please feel free to contact me to find out more information by emailing me at editor@luminationnetwork.com. We welcome all majors! Meetings are at 11:00 a.m. on Mondays in the Mullican lab in Ezell.
I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store this year at Lipscomb. Thanks for reading!
