With the school year coming into full swing, changes in how the student life offices are run have taken effect. This summer, Al Sturgeon sat down with Lumination to discuss his plans on making adjustments to Lipscomb’s atmosphere. “The whole point of community life is that this is the part of our campus where students interact with each other, where relationship happen, where interests are explored.” Said Sturgeon on the importance of the Student Life office on campus. An overlying theme of the changes Sturgeon hopes to bring to Lipscomb is the unification of groups across campus. “We’re putting everything together in a world where we can have conversations and learn how they [different groups] interact across social boundary lines that naturally form,” Sturgeon said “It’s not like I’m having to convince people to be good people, here [Lipscomb] they’re everywhere, it feels like there is more of a need for me to use my organizational skills and relational skills to build the bridges and connect the pieces together.”. With the reorganization, comes new roles for both familiar and new faces on campus. “This is just an attempt to make some order out of things,” Sturgeon said. “Prentice Ashford is the Dean of Community Life, which is a new phrase for him, and Louis Nelms is stepping into the role of overseeing Greek life as well as student activities, organizations, and commuters. “Office of Student Well Being will be led by Dannie Woods, we’re clustering in with the things she does already in her office… the idea is that our concern is not just that students form relationships and...
