Grad School Abroad

Attending an international graduate school can have a long-lasting effect on a student’s life academically, culturally, spiritually and financially, said Cedarville professors. Bible professors Greg Couser, Dan Estes and Jason Lee, attended graduate school in Great Britain. And though the language is (mostly) the same, they said the social and academic experience is quite different. For grad students and their families, they said studying abroad can be a positive, life-changing experienc...

Jason Vaults for Jesus

Jason Scott is the new assistant coach for the Cedarville track and field team, but his story reaches much further than that of an accomplished athlete.

During the indoor season of his freshman year of college, Scott, who won an Ohio high school state championship by clearing a height of 15 feet 2 inches, failed to clear ...

Joy McTaggart: American in Paris

Senior Joy McTaggart summed up her study abroad experience in one word – independence. McTaggart, a theatre major studying performance and design, spent her fall semester in Paris. In October 2012, McTaggart decided to study abroad. She chose France because she wanted to learn to speak French, and Paris offered the requirements she needed to graduate. “Cedarville really pushes it (studying abroad) when you are a freshman,” McTaggart said, “I was really tentative freshman year, but ...

Review: Switchfoot’s ‘Fading West’

In the grand scheme of the music industry, no matter what the genre, most artists are mere flashes in the pan, coming and going without making a significant impact on their field.

Review: ‘Sherlock’

If you are at all familiar with the character of Sherlock Holmes, you are probably aware of the lack of social skills the character seems to have.

On many occasions, he has outbursts that others deem inappropriate, but that he feels are completely normal. When we first met BBC’s version of the great Sherlock Holmes in “Sherlock,” he was the definition of “a high-functioning ...
