After transferring to Lipscomb from Georgia his sophomore year, Jackson Sprayberry immediately started making changes here on campus. “I decided to transfer here to Lipscomb because I wanted to grow closer to God through my education,” said Jackson. “That simply wasn’t happening at Georgia.” Jackson is a senior political science major from Chickamauga, Ga., with aspirations to become a social justice lawyer. One of his favorite things to do is shop at thrift stores where nearly half of his clothes came from. In high school, he was the president of his class all four years and went on to serve as a Senator-at-large at UGA. Last year at Lipscomb he served as Vice-President of SGA and is currently the SGA President. He also served on Quest Team this past summer and is currently a resident assistant in the Village. If you enjoy the Lipscomb movie channel and more open visitation hours, you have Jackson to thank for that. He also suggested offering sushi upstairs in the Bison Café. His immediate concern is starting a better recycling program on campus. “It’s great that we have sustainable buildings and hybrid parking spots, but I’d like to be a part of the process,” Sprayberry said. “What I’ve heard from dozens of students is they’d like to be a part of that process as well.” He is also pushing for the library to stay open 24/7. He wants to students to have a “safe, quiet space to study throughout the night.” Jackson is extremely dedicated to Lipscomb and wants to make it a better place. “Lipscomb is a community that grants me the...

Many universities will often consider faculty members as nothing but a number. But here at Lipscomb University, that is certainly not the case. The university embraces every faculty member as an individual and will properly acknowledge their accomplishments when the opportunity presents itself. Three faculty members had that chance this past Thursday, as Dr. Kim Reed, Dr. Tim Johnson and Dr. Richard Goode were honored with a book signing party on the upper level of the Beaman Library for the release of their three new books. The party consisted of other faculty members and professors of Lipscomb University, as well as supportive students, friends of the authors and other interested guests. As the three honorees stood up to make their speeches, they each had very individual messages with one similar characteristic: they had a passion for the subjects about which they wrote. The professors told the audience each of their stories, as well as background information about the topics of their books. Dr. Kim Reed’s book, The Turn of the Screw and other Tales, focuses on a collection of ghost stories that Henry James has written over his literary career. She describes Henry James as a writer that she originally disapproved of after first reading one of his books (which she threw across the room as she explains in her speech) but found him so compelling enough to where she could not stop reading his works. “I hope [my readers] develop a greater appreciation for Henry James,” said Dr. Reed. Dr. Richard Goode’s Crashing the Idols: The Vocation of Will D. Campbell discusses how the message of “be reconciled”...
