The veteran misconception: New org at Cedarville seeks to support students transitioning from the military
By Madison Dyer
Veteran students face a unique challenge when coming to college, even such a welcoming one as Cedarville University.
People who serve in the military have the option to go to college on a scholarship after they complete their service. It is near impossible to recognize veteran students, nobody ever mentions them in passing and most students are too busy to dedicate more than a second of consideration to their veteran peers’ situation.

By Julia Swain
Bianca Ferrario is a freshman nursing student from Milan, Italy. When Ferrario was in her freshman year of high school, her family moved to California, where her walk with Christ began.
The transition from Italy to California was rough for Ferrario and her family, especially because it happened at the beginning of COVID-19.
“Me and my mother were stuck in a very small apartment in Italy because Covid was so bad and we couldn’t get out,” Ferrario said. ...

Beyond the cardboard canoe race and Spirit Week, what makes Homecoming so special is that it allows alumni to reflect on their four years at Cedarville and witness what God is continuing to do.
In 2019, a group of friends made a promise to one another that they would come back to campus together for their five-year reunion. In 2024, Whitney O’Brien, Kaitlyn Ring, Abby ...
Vote with Vision creates conversation, not debate, around politics on campus
By Maggie Fipps
Today, bringing up the election is an instant conversation killer. Tiring commercials with dramatic music air every break, and it seems every other Facebook post is a new way to superimpose Trump onto a famous figure. It can be fatiguing to begin thinking about what you will write on your ballot in November.
Vote with Vision, a new initiative on campus, is hoping to start a better conversation around this fall’s election. Josh Chapin, Destiny Gaines, Luke Ring and ...
‘Io Capitano’ provides an eye-opening perspective on African emigration
By Isaac Steward
This review contains spoilers for “Io Capitano”
“Io Capitano” is different from the movies I normally watch.
I’ve always felt drawn to films with far away settings, high stakes and happy endings. “Io Capitano” has all of these things, and yet it is so incredibly different from what I usually watch. The setting isn’t as far away as we can be tempted to think, the stakes are very real and the ending isn’t as happy as it might seem. All the same, ...
‘The Penguin’ premiere shows the many faces of darkness in Gotham City
By Ben Konuch
“They don't even know what they got, cause they always had it. Never hungry, born full. But not us. The world wasn't built for guys like us.”
Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” was one of the greatest superhero films we’ve gotten in recent years, and without a doubt the best product out of a tortured DC Studios in decades. It portrayed of Batman and his world as gritty and realistic yet undoubtedly “comic-book-ish” in its storytelling and aesthetics. So, when DC ...
Testimony Tuesday: The beauty in letting go
By Bella Agnello
Evangelism does not always mean preaching on the streets or going on mission trips. Often, it is simply sharing personal stories of seeing God’s glory and sovereignty.
Ellie Binger, a sophomore Exercise Science major, knows just how important it is to share testimonies. This past summer, Binger shared her story in front of over 100 people at a Christian college group.
When sharing what God did in her life, Binger’s message of hope is that there is beauty in ...

Room 104 in the Biblical and Theological Studies building overflowed with students sitting in chairs, sitting on top of desks and standing on the sides, all talking with lively chatter. The room hushed as Jeremy Kimble, director of the Synergy Initiative at Cedarville University, began the evening with a word of prayer.
On Monday, September 23rd, Cedarville University hosted their first Synergy Initiative event of the 2024-2025 year. GO City Connections encouraged ...
Tuttle’s Takes: Week 3 Surprises and Storylines
By Emily Tuttle
Begging my hotspot to work, I pulled up my beloved streaming service in the car on Sunday at 1 p.m. to watch week three of the NFL unfold. Soon, everyone in the car with me would tire of my yelping and wish my hotspot hadn’t worked.
It is early in the season; teams are desperate to establish themselves, and young players try to avoid being cast aside as a bust. Week three was filled with underdogs triumphing, veterans looking like they have returned to their prime, and ...
“Agatha All Along” wavers between wicked and whimsical.
By Janie Walenda
Raise your hand if you weren’t allowed to read “Harry Potter” as a kid.
As Christians, we’re rightfully cautious of stories that use witchcraft as a source of magic. I feel comfortable watching something if it’s clear that the magic is more fantasy-based than reality-based, as in Harry Potter. If not completely fantastical magic, then the content should portray the witches as evil. The first “Hocus Pocus” distinguishes witchcraft as something exclusively ...
