Dear Reader,
Let me be the first to welcome you to the Lumination Network, a student news network of the department of communication and journalism at Lipscomb University. This website is something that we hope will be a credible, balanced and timely source for news regarding both Lipscomb University and the Nashville community.
This network, made up of online, television, radio and print content, has been created, produced and will continue to be run by students at this university. Lumination Network is the response to a challenge given to the department of communication and journalism by Lipscomb’s administration. That challenge was to better our department using the resources we have been given in a way that students who graduate from Lipscomb will be as equipped or more equipped to excel in their chosen career field than students at any other university. And it’s not just communication students who have participated….We’d like to thank the students in AR 4943, Graphic Design Firm, taught by Jonathan Gillette, for designing the “Lumination” logo.
Lumination Network will never be perfect, and it will always strive to improve using suggestions given by members of the Lumination community. If you have a story idea, a suggestion on how to improve a facet of our network, or wish to contribute your multimedia talents, send a letter to the editor or submit a story idea. We need feedback to continue to improve this website and the network as a whole.
Please take some time to explore the site– we have a lot of content! Visit the Senior Profiles and find out what Lipscomb’s almost-graduates are planning to do after college and how Lipscomb has molded them. Take a look at the Campus Crime Map for up-to-date reports on where, when and what campus safety has dealt with on our campus. To find out what some students did over spring break, read their Mission Trip Journals and see pictures and videos of places all over the world.
We hope that you adopt this network as one of your go-to media outlets, and that you’ll help us become a vital asset to the Lipscomb community.
