Each year, the Lipscomb faculty and quest team closes out Quest Week with a special ceremony to welcome all the new students called “Initium.”
At the ceremony, each student is given a piece of slate to remind them of the “clean slate” they have at Lipscomb, as well as a candle to light their path at Lipscomb while President L. Randolph Lowry, student body president Jack Webber and others spoke.
In presenting the students with their slate, President Lowry reminded the students to “keep your slate close, put it up somewhere in your room, keep it where you can see it and let it be a reminder that while we are here to educate you and your parents lovingly support you, what ultimately will be on your slate will be of your choice”
