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.

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 ...
Testimony Tuesday: The beauty in letting go

By Bella Agnello

This is what Matthew Dudley, a sophomore Computer Science and Cyber Security double major, heard God speaking to his heart during a chapel at school when he was thirteen years old.
Dudley grew up in church and attended Christian schools his whole life, yet faith did not mean much more than going to church and occasionally reading the Bible.
