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.
Fish started college as a Mechanical Engineering major, certain he’d be a great fit for the program. Now, he is a junior Industrial Design major studying at the International Center for Creativity (ICC) in Columbus, Ohio. Though he could have never predicted the path his journey took, he ...
Cedarville University students grow and serve others at summer camps
By Esther Fultz
For many Cedarville University students, going to camp was an integral part of our childhood summers. New friendships, an opportunity to disconnect from technology and responsibilities at home, full days packed with adventure and activities, and pure excitement and chaos are just some of the things that make camp appealing. These things also make camp a great avenue for sharing the hope of Christ with youth who may never have heard of Him and helping those who are already ...
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 ...
Lady Jackets bounce back with second half flurry
By Carolina Zimbron
The Cedarville women’s soccer team shook the crowd with a victory with a second-half scoring avalanche against Lake Erie on Wednesday night.
The Lady Jackets have played Lake Erie eight times and have won every match. This game was definitely no exception.
Despite the loss they faced last weekend at Northwood, Cedarville managed to deliver a winning score of 4-0 to move to 2-1 in conference matches and 5-2 overall.
Despite scoring multiple times during the ...
‘A Haunting in Venice’ breaths new shocks into a classic genre
By Ben Konuch
“For once in your life, admit you are up against something bigger than you!”
I've been a fan of mysteries for as long as I can remember, as I previously reminisced when I had the opportunity to review Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile" last year. Mystery stories have taken up much of my childhood, so I’m always disappointed that Hollywood doesn’t have the same quantity of classic whodunits as books and television shows.
That's why Kenneth Branagh's ...
‘Ahsoka’ brings back mystical ‘Star Wars’ in an exciting first half
By Ben Konuch
“Anakin never got to finish my training. Before the end of the Clone Wars, I walked away from him - and the Jedi. Just like I walked away from Sabine.”
When conversations around “Star Wars” spring up in my friend group, I’m usually the guy people look at. I’ve loved “Star Wars” since I was a child and I have my older brother to thank for that. Growing up in the Philippines away from libraries or video stores, we would have to buy a season of the animated ...
‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3’ is a hilarious family reunion
By Anna Harman
I was so excited when I first saw the trailer for this movie that I put the release date on my calendar immediately. I loved the first two “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” movies, so I knew I had to see this.
It was so cool to see a lot of the original characters come back in this movie, especially Toula (Nia Vardalo), Ian (John Corbett) and Aunt Voula (Andrea Martin). However, we found out right at the start of the movie that Toula’s mom Maria (Lainie Kazan) was ...
Synergy Initiative kicks off with a discourse on culture
By Avonlea Brown
Approximately 120 students sat in BTS 104, friendly conversations and anticipation buzzed around the room as they wondered how the night would go. A table full of fruits and beverages in the back of the room had several visitors, but most of the attention was on the front of the room.
At 6:30 p.m. on September 12th, Associate Professor of Theology Dr. Jeremy Kimble faced the crowd of students and began the first Synergy Initiative event of the 2023 Fall Semester....
Fertile Ground – A Cedarville Alumni Art Exhibition
This past Saturday (9/9/23), the Cedarville University Gallery opened a new exhibit Fertile Ground honoring alumni who laid a foundation for today's art department students.
Fertile Ground comes from the question, “How do we make things grow?” In Matthew 13 it says, good soil allows for deep roots, protection from birds and thorns, and a rich environment for a seed to come alive.
Featuring work from Studio Art Cedarville Alumni, Fertile Ground&n...
