Kelly Dean, a senior journalism/new media major and Lumination contributor, was recently recognized for her time with Country Music Association’s journalism team during last summer’s CMA Fest by receiving the CMA Close Up Award of Merit for Journalism. “I honestly could not believe I won the Award of Merit,” Dean said. “I had to read the email four times before it registered. I thought it had been a mistake, honestly! I never really have had that much confidence in my writing skills, but I know that writing is something I enjoy.” Dean credits working the CMA Fest as something that has helped ignite advancements in her career as a writer. “I have seen major improvement in my writing throughout the past two years,” Dean said. “Especially after working the CMA Fest, because of the real world experience.” Along with receiving the honor, Dean got the chance to assist the CMA Close Up team with their coverage of last week’s 47th Annual CMA Awards. She has been part of the Lipscomb journalism team that won the Southeast Journalism Conference’s Best of the South Awards in 2011 that included third place in “Best Video News” and first place as “Best College TV Station”. Dean has also been a part of numerous other successful journalism projects throughout her college years. “This is the biggest honor I have ever received in my journalism career,” Dean said. “I felt so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the CMA Close Up team to begin with, but to receive this honor was humbling because I was doing what I love in the industry that I absolutely love.” With...

Southern Land Company is in the process of adding a 22-story building that will make Green Hills look quite different in the years to come. The Green Hills Action Partners hosted a public forum at the United Methodist Church for over a hundred people to learn and discuss the project and the future for Green Hills on Monday, Sept. 9. The designated location is the intersection of Richard Jones Rd. and Hillsboro Pike. This may be a familiar location to Lipscomb students, as the new upcoming coffeehouse, The Well, is one of the many businesses that are being forced to relocate. At 240 feet tall, this new attraction would be the tallest building in Green Hills. Currently the 14-story Green Hills Apartments for Retired Teachers is the tallest. Southern Land Company’s future intentions for the building would have multiple uses such as: residential apartments, office space for business, restaurants, and shopping. Southern Land Co. is excited to see this project almost ready to launch. Southern Land Co. CEO Tim Downey sees this project as an opportunity for college students to enjoy the area a little more. “It will have a lot of things Greens Hills doesn’t have right now,” Downey said. “And for Lipscomb students, it will have restaurants, out door seating, and of course we will have the apartments as well.” The building’s implications sound great for students who are new to the area, but for those who have lived in Green Hills for years it just means that traffic will become too much to bare. 11-year Green Hills resident Charlotte Cooper, has watched the city grow, and she...
