Miss Lipscomb recipient Lauren King has a passion for people and for the university. A rising senior and Nashville native, King is a Bible major with a youth ministry and preaching emphasis. “I love Lipscomb a whole lot, and working for admissions has even grown my love for Lipscomb, just knowing more about our school and what we do and the effort that we put to get students here,” King said. At first, King did not expect to be able to come to Lipscomb. However, her involvement with non-profit Christian-based organization RAVE ministries opened up the opportunity to be a part of this campus. “I’ve just tried to make this experience as much as I possibly can with my involvement that I’ve grown on campus,” King said. “It’s just been awesome to be more involved in the community.” King gets to travel around to schools, churches and youth rallies to speak to teenage girls about gossip, self-image and sexual temptations. “My involvement in RAVE helped me find my desire for youth ministry and one of the reasons why I’m a ministry major,” King said, “I’ve gotten to meet some really cool girls around the country that I’ve gotten to build relationships with.” King enjoys building relationships with people both on and off campus. One of her favorite things about Lipscomb, she said, is the community. “I just know that it’s a dream for me to come to Lipscomb,” King said. “I love this community so much and what it means to me.” Besides working with Lipscomb admissions and RAVE ministries, King is also a member of social club Pi...

SGA announced on Wednesday that Andrew Hunt had been elected as the new President of Lipscomb’s Student Government Association. Hunt will take over the position previously held by Patrick Grace. Drew Watson was announced as the new Vice President, the SGA title Hunt held this past school year. Julia Rox will once again hold the title of Secretary, while Melissa Parrish won the title of Treasurer. Hunt expressed his excitement in the victory. “I was really, really nervous going into it, and I really had no idea what to expect,” Hunt said. “But I’m really, really excited.” Hunt shared a couple of the tasks he hopes to accomplish in his first days as the new SGA President, among those being the need to finalize the new addition of off-campus meal plans. “We’ve still got some stuff to nail down about off-campus meal plans, so I’m really going to try and finish that up,” Hunt said. Hunt also said that he hopes to establish an SGA presence on the university’s Board of Trustees. Saying he was both surprised and excited about his win, Watson also shared his hopes for next semester, underlining his desire for improved communication between SGA and the student body. “I really want to work on communication,” Watson said. “We’re going to start by getting the word out and accepting ideas from the student body.” Kaley Greene was named Miss Lipscomb, while Tyler Osborne was named the Bachelor of Ugliness.
