Just Sayin’ – Changing and Growing

Welcome, newcomers, to the beginning of your ride as a Cedarville Yellow Jacket. In many ways, college is like a bike ride.

I’ve made a terrible mistake.” You keep pedaling, however, and a few miles down the road you think back to all those doubts and you wonder what happened to the space in between. It flew by, because you ...

I remember walking through all the buildings, getting my picture taken for my student ID, connecting my laptop to Cedarville’s wireless network ...

After Scalia’s Death, What’s Next?

Running with a Purpose

For the amount of time Cedarville’s women’s 4x800-meter relay team has been running, it’s members have accomplished quite a bit. It’s a young team. Olivia Esbenshade is the only junior, while Carsyn Koch, Carly Rose and Sarah Hoffman are all sophomores. Women’s track and field head coach Jeff Bolender said the four each bring something different to the team. “They are all talented runners,” Bolender said. “Each of them have different strengths, but for all of them, the 800 ...
