Cedarville’s enduring legacy: Three generations, 50 years, one family
By Maggie Fipps
Legacy.
It is a word thrown around a lot on weekends like Homecoming.
Is Cedarville simply a name on a degree, written in bold cursive? Does it truly ingrain itself in a person or a family? What about people who meet their spouses at Cedarville? What is the difference in their future family, their future children and grandchildren?
If these questions seem too weighty and overblown, you are probably right. For most, Cedarville will be a rest stop on their ...

UpWrite provides Cedarville students with the last notebook they will ever need
By Avonlea Brown
In 2022, Americans spent $36.9 billion on school supplies. The increasing cost of school supplies and lack of products have now led to a demand for reusable school supplies that students can keep for multiple uses.
Within Cedarville University’s Plaster School of Business, a group of five students created a company that sought to change the one-and-done attitude toward school supplies. Johnny Martone, Ashley Hanel, Kyle Stewart, Jacob Franzen and Luke Bowers ...

The first choice is not always the best choice: Samuel Fish
By Marielle Payton
As a freshman, Samuel Fish was excited about getting hands-on with different creative projects and designs. Now, he’s still pursuing that passion–just a little differently.

Finding your people: Bryn Golson
By Avonlea Brown
Hidden immigrant.
On the outside, they look ordinary, but on the inside, they feel detached. They float from group to group and try to find a place where they belong but never truly find it.
Bryn Golson used those words to describe her experience as a child of missionaries.
When she was ten years old, Golson’s family packed their things, sold their house and moved to Knysna, South Africa.
“My parents were so excited and that perspec...
Did You Know? Greene County Bus System Serves Cedarville University
By Marielle Payton
One of the worst feelings for a college student is knowing where you want to go but having no way of getting there.
Spontaneous late-night Walmart runs. Trips to Urgent Care. Going to a church far away. Texting friends to ask them for rides and hoping someone’s free. For many students who do not have cars on campus, looking for transportation is a familiar struggle.
“As a freshman and sophomore I had no transportation and had few friends who had cars, so I ...
