Lipscomb’s official, student-run radio station has partnered with Lipscomb Athletics to broadcast the Lady Bisons basketball home games for the 2013-2014 season. The broadcast feature a play-by-play commentator, a color commentator and a sideline reporter. The broadcast will also consist of people running audio and providing score updates back in the studio at that the radio station, located at the Ezell Center. “We have a play-by-play commentator, a color commentator, a courtside reporter, as well as in-studio analysis by one or two individuals there as well as an audio engineer for the broadcast,” said Lumination Radio Program Director Thomas Jones. “We’re basically just doing a normal broadcast just like you would see on TV, but for radio.” The broadcast team is made up of volunteers from around the department of communication and journalism at Lipscomb. Some of the volunteers include students Monaih Sam, Brittnay Estes, Jesica Parsley, TJ Ojehomon, Charlie Bateman and Brianne Welch.

Tuesday, Oct. 8, the annual Lipscomb Missions Fair will be up and running in the Bennett Student Center. The fair is put together and sponsored by the Lipscomb Missions department. It is designed to provide students with an easily-accessible way to learn about different missions opportunities offered by the university. “We offer trips to places all the way from Nashville, if you want to stay in town and work with our immigrant communities, all the way to India and Australia,” said Missions Coordinator TJ McCloud, “It’s really an amazing breadth of opportunities.” The Missions Fair is especially helpful for new students who are interested in getting involved in mission efforts. The different trips and opportunities will be represented by different booths in the Student Center, where students can gather as much information as needed. Missions representatives will be at every booth to answer any questions. Students can choose to participate in mission efforts that have been established at Lipscomb for many years, such as the mission trip to Scotland or the opportunity to work with an orphanage in Ghana, West Africa. This year, there have been a few newly added trips students can also choose to participate in, including a trip to a Navajo reservation in Arizona and a mission trip to the island of Nevis. “The Mission Fair is a great way to come check everything out, and we’d love to have you,” McCloud said. For more information on Lipscomb Missions, visit the Missions department, located on the second floor of the Ezell...

On Wednesday, April 17, Lipscomb’s Psychology Department’s Death and Dying class will be hosting a memorial service in the Ezell Chapel at 7:30 p.m. The service is open to all students and faculty, whether they have lost someone or not. The Death and Dying class decided to host the memorial service because they believed many people related to the Lipscomb family have lost their lives this past year. “We felt that, because of the theme of our class, it would be a good idea to host a memorial service to reach out to the student body to have a time of reflection on the ones we have lost,” junior Ashley Anderson said. The service will begin with an opening prayer and welcome. Following the welcome, everyone in attendance will be given a piece of paper to write the name of the person they have lost or would like to pray for. The papers will be collected and randomly distributed back out to the audience as prayer request cards. There will be a few minutes of meditation and reflection time along with an interactive passage. John Owings, a Lipscomb Bible professor, will also be speaking during the service. The Death and Dying Memorial Service is meant to be a time of reflection and meditation on those we have lost, and remembrance on their lives and legacies they have left...

Immigration will be the topic of discussion when Gov. Bill Haslam addresses The Tennessee Latin American Chamber of Commerce (TLACC) on Wednesday, March 6, as part of Tennessee’s Partnership for a New American Economy. That partnership is designed to bring together leaders from all political and economic sectors nationwide to raise awareness of what it sees as the economic benefits of sensible immigration reform. Immigration reform is — along with education and gun laws — one of the most discussed topics from both sides of the political aisle. And Haslam has weighed in on the subject before. In a recent interview with POLITICO’s Jonathan Martin, Haslam addressed a variety of topics, including the debate over immigration reform. He said he would like to see a comprehensive immigration reform bill enacted. The event will take place in Ezell 301 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost to attend is $35 for non-TLACC...
