Jay Migrino: Graffiti Artist
Jay Migrino distinctly remembers a pivotal point in his self-concept when he was reading his copy of Leland Ryken’s “The Christian Imagination” for his composition class in the BTS. His professor, Isaac Mayeux, used the course to emphasize Christianity’s alignment with the arts, and when Ryken’s words about excellence leapt off the page, it changed Migrino’s entire perspective on how to “do” art.
“I didn’t know how to integrate my faith with my art,” Migrino said. “I ...
Oscars Preview 2014
The 86th Oscar nominations were announced last month, and it is looking to be a dramatic year with plenty to celebrate. With dozens of films nominated, it is simply impossible to watch them all, but here are a few stand-out films worth looking into.
Captain Phillips
Those familiar with director Paul Greengrass’s work (“The Bourne Supremacy,” “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “United 93”) expect intensity at the forefront of every film. “Captain Phillips” fits into the same vein, ...
Cedarville Offers New Scholarship
Trina Jones is just like any other Cedarville student. She is a freshman getting used to life at Cedarville. But Jones has a unique back story.

Is Grad School Worth It?
As 2003 Cedarville graduate Mike Kibbe discovered, one is never too old to listen to Dad.
Immediately after graduating from Cedarville, Kibbe, a Bible major, enrolled in Dallas Theological Seminary to earn a 4-5 year Master of Theology degree. He dropped out two years into the program.
“My dad told me it was a dumb idea to go right into grad school, and I didn’t listen,” Kibbe says, laughing. “He was right.”
Kibbe says he went to graduate school because he wasn’t sure what ...
What Kind of Graduate Education Is Most Valuable?
Many factors are involved in choosing a graduate school. What kind of graduate school would be most valuable for you?
Public vs. Private
“I was more interested in what division of sports that they had because I’d be working with their athletes.”
--Mary Bernecker, Wright State, Athletic Training
“For graduate school, I knew it would be a little different because I knew I was going to be mostly at home, I would be commuting there and back, so it didn’t really matter to me as ...
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...
Professionals Enjoy Time as Graduate Students at Cedarville
Cedarville offers four different master’s degrees and is looking to add more. The university supplies graduates with master’s degrees in business, nursing and education, along with a seven-year pharmacy program that culminates with a doctorate of pharmacy. Cedarville is also in the process of accepting applications for the inaugural class of the new master’s degree in ministry spearheaded by the school of Biblical and theological studies.
Undergraduate students may wonder what the ...
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. Scott was a high school state champion in the pole vault but chose to come to Cedarville rather than one of the three NCAA Division I universities that tried to recruit him.
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. But the exceptions are the ones worth celebrating, and Switchfoot more than fits this description. Coming up on 18 years as a band, the Foreman brothers and their friends chose to commemorate their story with “Fading West,” a documentary and accompanying soundtrack that only a seasoned band like Switchfoot could ...
