There are already a record number of people on campus, and this weekend there will be several more. With Family Weekend here the same time as Cowboy Show, we have some tips for those coming in to visit. Parking: When you find a place, take it. No need to try and find a better one. On Lipscomb’s campus, an open spot, is the best spot. Food: Don’t be afraid to eat on campus. We have sushi, Chick-fil-A, Blue Coast Burrito and the cafeteria. Plus, The parents will be a meal a day this weekend. However, if you want to venture off campus, there are several options such as Carraba’s, Cheesecake Factory, Pei Wei, Athens, Burger Up and a lot more other places right in Green Hills. Traffic: Prepare for delays, trust me. Hillsboro road is one of the worst roads in America – and I am not joking. Traffic is terrible in Green Hills, but once you get where you are going, it’s totally worth it. We hope this helps, and if it doesn’t maybe this week’s Nashville Spotlight can help you out.

Lipscomb enrollment has reached over 4,000 students for the first time in school history. After 4 years of academic investment, Lipscomb is now celebrating this new enrollment milestone. In 2005, the university’s board of trustees approved a five-year investment that pumped an average of $1 million dollars a month into campus and academics. The plan resulted in a renovated campus landscape, 38 new programs of study, and 79 new full-time faculty hired. Lipscomb reached 3,000 students in 2008 and now 4,000 this fall. Overall, the university has enjoyed a 59 percent enrollment growth rate since 2005. Lumination News caught up with the 4,000th student Jessica Wills, and asked for her take on helping Lipscomb reach this milestone. Please upgrade your...

It’s almost time for Lipscomb’s Law, Justice and Society majors to take the LSAT, and many of them will be glad when it’s finally finished and they can return to normal life activities. The LSAT, which is on Oct. 1, is a major test for law students, and senior Russ Aiken knows the importance of not only taking but preparing for the test. “It is one of the most stressful things that a law student has to go through,” Aiken said. “ Nearly everyone that you talk to is going to tell you that they dreaded studying for the LSAT.” That statement definitely rings true for LJS students. Senior LJS major Tyler Conger has been preparing for the LSAT for more than two months. He says the Kaplan program has helped him a lot, but it still takes up a significant amount of his “down-time.” “When I’m not doing school work, I am thinking about the LSAT,” Conger said. “I think about it before I go to bed; it’s something I think about when I get up; and it’s something I should be doing right now.” Instead of hanging out with his friends in Gamma Xi, where Conger is president, he sits at a desk and works through problems. He says the test is not really about law but focuses more on logical reasoning and logic games that cause you to think critically about the questions. Aiken said that it dominated his life when he was preparing for it, but now it is a thing of the past. He says that once you get your score and apply, it...
