Well, that was fast.
I know it’s cliché to comment on the swiftness of the summer months, but it’s hard to believe that the break is over and the fall semester already underway. To those of you who braved an 8 a.m. class this morning, you have my upmost respect.
Even though life’s been pretty mellow around LU, it’s actually been quite an eventful summer on the news side of things. Lipscomb has hired a new men’s basketball coach with Casey Alexander, implemented new dining changes (including a new off-campus meal plan) and installed the new Osman Fountain in Bison Square. Other new campus renovations are currently getting their finishing touches.
Lumination also made a few new additions to our staff before the summer months.
Former Assistant News Director Sydney Poe will be taking over all of our multimedia coverage as the new News Director of the Lumination News broadcast and as the new Multimedia Editor. Jael Teme will be the new Assistant News Director for the broadcast.
In regards to LU Radio, Thomas Jones, who you may know from his LU Radio show Sports60, will be the new Program Director for the station.
On the written side of things, Kyrsten Turner will be our new News Editor and Social Media Manager, Janice Ng will be our new Special Interests Editor, Brianna Langley will be our new Lifestyles Editor, Aaron Schmelzer will be our new Sports Editor and Logan Butts will be our new Entertainment Editor.
Now that we’re all back and situated, we here at Lumination are looking forward to providing you some of our best work yet. There’s an exciting semester ahead, and as always, we’ll be there every step of the way, providing in-depth coverage on the events and issues that matter most to you as a student.
If you ever have any questions, concerns or ideas for possible stories, I welcome you to let us know at our email address – luminationnetwork@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you. And, if Lumination sounds like something you’d like to be a part of, we’re always looking for prospective students to join our team. Send an email our way, and we’ll get you started right away.
So, on behalf of everyone on staff, I just want to say welcome back, and thanks for letting us be a part of your journey as a Bison.
