CU Involvement Fair and Kickoff Party 2017
Every fall, CU hosts a 2-hour fair and semester "kickoff party", during which campus orgs and local ministries can set up booths to show students what opportunities are available to them during their time at Cedarville. While the event is aimed primarily at the year's incoming freshmen, all students are highly encouraged to attend and take part in the festivities.

Just Sayin’ – How A Digital Detox Changed My Summer
By Alex Hentschel
That’s it,” I said resolutely, holding down my apps until they trembled with the fear of being deleted. “I’m done.”
My dad only looked at me in a “sure, if you say so” way, but I did it — on the car ride back from my freshman year, I got rid of all of my social media and time-wasting apps. Facebook. Instagram. Snapchat. GroupMe. Podcasts. My three — three! — brickbreaking games. I told my friends that all my social media was gone and they could — and ...
Alex & Mojade
SGA President and Vice President
by Naomi Harward
It’s no surprise that Alex and Mojade won the hearts (and votes) of so many during SGA elections last year. These two are some of the friendliest, most down-to-earth people you will meet on campus. Unless they’re running late to class or busy with homework, they’re almost always open to stopping to chat with you. They love meeting new people and both share a heart for fostering relationships with their fellow students.
This year, this ...
Why are people talking about Faith and Jenkins?
by Rebekah Erway
Faith and Jenkins are two opposites on the dorm spectrum: one is the oldest dorm on campus, the other the newest. Faith (formally Faith Hall) originated over 50 years ago as a used Army barracks. The dorm was meant to be temporary housing but lasted for 58 years as a home for students on Cedarville’s campus.
Last year, the announcement officially came that Cedarville was going to tear Faith down before the start of the 2017-18 school year. This led to numerous puns about ...
Stinger’s Renovation
by Callahan Jones
The Hive, Cedarville University’s full-service snack shop, is no longer. In its place is Stinger’s, a larger and modernized space.
“We set out to create a place where students can develop community, friendship, eat, and just to have a nice place where students can hang out,” said Dr. Thomas White, president of Cedarville University. “It was designed completely with the student in mind.”
As popular as it is and was, the Hive showed its age. The room had ...
Napkin Art
by Paolo Carrion
Creative Cedarville students have found a way to bring color and delight to the mundane routine of eating meals.
As a student on campus, you will undoubtedly spend many hours in Chuck’s or Stinger’s, eating lunch with friends or doing some last-minute studying.
Most people use napkins during meals, and for this reason Cedarville has supplied napkin holders for those who enjoy eating.
The napkin holders can be opened to place paper in the display window. Many ...
Cedarville Slang Lexicon
by Alexandria Hentschel
The first week of freshman year is an adjustment in so many ways — you say goodbye to your family, live on your own for the first time, and meet your new best friends. You become responsible for feeding yourself and making it on time to your own appointments.
However, a lot of freshmen (myself included) have difficulty adjusting to the various jargon that make Cedarville home. Moving into college comes with enough changes without having to learn an entire new ...

Facebook Groups of Cedarville
by Keegan D’Alfonso
Starting college is intimidating. You have no idea what’s going on half the time, you’re in a brand-new place, and books cost how much!?
While social media shouldn’t be your only way to make friends as you start your college adventure, it is a great tool for staying informed of activities, sharing humorous stories, and buying or renting books from other students at a fraction of the price the CU bookstore will charge you.
Here are a few unofficial Cedarville ...
Tips for Freshman
by Tim Miller
Entering college life can be scary. You may psych yourself out so much that you cry on move-in day. You may not be nervous at all for your first day of classes, which should probably be just as scary.
Regardless, you’re going to be dealt with new norms that are impossible to know when you’re a first-year student. Thankfully, I’ve got some tips on how not to act on campus.
