As you may have already noticed, my name is Logan Butts and I am taking over as the Editor-in-Chief of Lumination for the fall semester. I am following in the footsteps of many great editors including the most recent and longest holder of the position Cory Woodroof. Cory taught me almost everything I know about running a news site, so all complaints regarding my performance in the position should be sent to him. On a serious note, my goal is to continue and build upon the great successes of the former Editors-in-Chief while also putting my own unique spin on the position. I was not the only person to be handed the keys to a branch of Lumination for this semester. Janice Ng will be taking over as News Director of the Lumination News broadcast. If her time as Assistant News Director is any indication, I know she will be successful in the role. Thomas Jones will continue his role as the Program Director of Lumination Radio. Be sure to listen to his show, Sports60, and all the other programs on Lumination Radio. As for the Lumiantion website staff, we lost many great seniors to graduation in the spring, but we also have plenty of great writers and editors returning or joining the staff this fall. Brianne Welch will continue to put in great work as one of our managing editors, while our staff photographer Erin Turner will be joining her in the role. Brianna Langley, who was also named Assistant News Director of Lumination News broadcast, is our new News Editor. Jesica Parsley and Erika Thornsberry have been...

As the old cliché goes, all good things must come to an end. On Sunday, July 20, it will be time for me to say a goodbye to all of you, the readers of Lumination – at least in a sense. On that day, I will pass along one of the greatest batons I’ve ever had the chance to carry – the title of Lumination’s Editor-in-Chief. When I took over the position in December of 2012, I really had no idea what to expect. By that point, being editor of Lumination had been one of the main goals I hoped to achieve as a college student. Through all of the experiences I had while working as editor, I can safely say that the days between the one where I took over Lumination to the one where I publish this note have been some of the most important, rewarding days of my life. My time as editor has been a whirlwind of big stories, triumphant Bisons victories, crushing Bisons defeats, fascinating Lipscomb developments and mundane-yet-necessary updates. It’s consisted of late nights in the newsroom, good laughs with friends on staff, precious naps at home and hordes of emails in the inbox. I’ve had to make hard decisions in hard times and applaud brilliant work in times of great joy. Simply put, this has been one of the most hectic-yet-irreplaceable times of my life – one that cannot hold a price but would be worth its weight in gold to relive. While the time has come for me to step away from the editor’s role, Lumination’s future is as bright as...
