By Avonlea Brown
As the excitement of Getting Started Weekend wears off, incoming freshmen begin to question their place on campus. Homesickness and uncertainty creep in, making new students question their ability to make it through one semester, let alone the next four years.
At 7 p.m. on Monday night, the annual Fall Bible Conference began. The whole university sat down to hear speaker Corey Abney, lead pastor at Bell Shoals Church in Florida and a Cedarville graduate, talk about ...
Bravo Zulu: Dick Walker’s legacy of kindness and community at Cedarville University

The old man at the coffee shop
Dick Walker, known to many as Chief, sits in Beans and Cream, the local coffee shop. Rarely a morning goes by he can’t be found there, whether meeting a friend or his wife for coffee.
His shaking hand rests on a black cane and a cough wracks his chest. His head swivels to the right every time the door opens, watching students, teachers and townspeople stop in for coffee before going about their lives. Occasionally his face splits into ...

By Avonlea Brown
The food-service workers on campus are familiar, but often overlooked, faces. Many of them are fellow students and others are staff who have spent enough time at Cedarville University to call it a second home. One of those familiar faces is Denise Leslie, or as most of the student body has come to know her, the Stinger’s Lady.
Though they may not remember her by name, any regular customer of Stinger’s can recall interacting with a smiling older woman in a grey ...

By Ashleigh Clark and Avonlea Brown
“Mind if I sit with you folks?” Jeff Davenport asks as he approaches a table full of students in the Willets dormitory lounge.
The group of students looks up at the smiling security officer. Stunned silence follows his question before one student finally nods his head.
