Video Footage by Josephine Schmidt-Krayer. Editing by Nathan Lazarus and Josephine Schmidt-Krayer
The Canoe Race is an annual and beloved event here at Cedarville! All of the Freshmen engineering students are put into small groups and are given the task to build a floatable boat. With only limited material they have to come up with the perfect design that will enable them to row their boat across Cedarville's lake. The race is always held on Homecoming weekend. Parents, students, and ...
UN Report on Xinjiang Internment Marks a Symbolic Step Towards Action
By Spencer Benefiel
After four years of silence, the UN has condemned China’s treatment of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang province, saying the internment camps there are home to “Serious human rights violations” in an assessment released on August 31 by the UN Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
The report confirmed countless abuses and listed types of rights that these camps strip away from their unwilling residents, including religious, cultural, linguistic, ...

By Anna Harman
We’ve all seen or followed one of the numerous meme pages that have been created by Cedarville students. Countless memes have been made about chapel, student stereotypes and campus-wide jokes. Memes are so well appreciated among students that most of us can predict when a meme will be made while we’re sitting in Chapel. What causes students to create these pages? Who are these masters of comedy?

How Studying Abroad Helps Students Learn and Foster Relationships
by Anna Harman
Cedarville University encourages students to do a semester abroad, immersing themselves in another country while they learn. As the university puts it, “Open to students in any major, study abroad programs strengthen your language and cross-cultural skills, broaden your thinking, and deepen your commitment to Christian service.” There are opportunities to spend a semester in Spain, Ireland and France, along with many others.

“Abbott Elementary” Teaches a Class on Comedy
By Katlynn Rossignol
When you walk through the halls of Abbott Elementary School, expect to find flickering lights, terrible school food, low budgets, and most importantly, quirky and hardworking teachers. “Abbott Elementary” offers a hilarious view of the public school system from the eyes of its teachers, as they fight to provide the best education for their students. With the show’s second season starting to release, it’s a good time to look back and review what we learned from ...
‘She-Hulk: Attorney At Law’ Episode 7 Develops Jen But Nothing Else
By Samuel M Acosta
There are some positives and some negatives to this episode for me. While we get to see some fun new characters and development for Jen’s self-confidence and character, there is still barely any substance in terms of the overarching plot. Some jokes are overused and feel a little forced, but this is still a better episode than the past few.
Episode 7 follows Jen as she assists Blonsky’s probation officer to check out why the inhibitor has turned off. ...
An Explosive Episode Rockets “Rings of Power” to New Heights
By Janie Walenda
(This review contains spoilers for episode six of “Rings of Power”)
As the pieces fell into place, “Rings of Power” proved why slow-burn shows could be so effective. While the previous five episodes still had their problems, not all of which were fixed in episode six, “Udûn,” they successfully built up to one of the most nail-biting and jaw-dropping hours of television I have ever seen.
We spend most of our time with the Southlanders as they prepared for ...
The Mighty Ducks are Quack in Action
By Chloe Largent
The first season of “Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” left the Don’t Bothers brandishing their newly won title as the Mighty Ducks. Sadly, the joy of the season finale has worn off. As summer break approaches, and the second season begins, The Ducks are left without a coach and ice rink. The beloved Ice Palace Arena that was falling apart in season one is now being torn down and Gordon Bombay is nowhere to be seen. Bombay is not the only missing character this season, as ...
‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ Episode 6 is Spinning Its Wheels
By Samuel M Acosta
This episode really cements that this show doesn’t quite know what it is doing with its material. While the side-plot was more entertaining this time than in the past episodes, the main storyline just feels like it's just going in circles. Plus, they completely acknowledge the fact that they are delaying Daredevil’s entrance by throwing in a wedding episode. Altogether, there is nothing special happening, even if it’s not necessarily the worst thing I’ve seen.&n...
‘Avatar’ Changed Cinema Forever
By Samuel M Acosta
James Cameron’s blockbuster hit “Avatar” is finally getting a sequel after almost thirteen years. In honor of this, they remastered and re-released the original film in theaters. I ended up going to see it twice and I was reminded of how much “Avatar” offered audiences in 2009 and how it changed the way that films would be made.
First of all, “Avatar” is an incredible film overall. It blows my mind how Cameron created such an amazing world from his ...
