Nonprofit coffee shop The Well is thriving in its new location across the street from Lipscomb. After a move from its original location on Richard Jones Rd., The Well has managed to keep most of its regulars as well as gain new customers from the neighborhood. Representative Jason Parker says, “We’ve got some new regulars. People that live in the neighborhood can just walk here to the coffee shop or if I see them on their morning jog as I’m opening the store and they come in after they’ve finished jogging. We’ve retained a lot of our regulars and also gotten new ones as well. It’s been great.” Old regulars are also pleased with the new location. Lipscomb student and longtime Well customer Spencer Bailey also enjoys that the new location kept the “comfortable” and “homey” feel of the old, but he especially enjoys the new location’s proximity to Lipscomb. “It’s right across from campus. I just walk over here. It’s my favorite part,” he says. The Well moved to the old Pizza Perfect location in May after The Well’s lease was terminated to make way for a 15-story building on Richard Jones Rd. “We were looking for locations for a few months. We really wanted to be somewhere around the Green Hills area because we had built a good following and had a lot of loyal customers. I feel like it’s a blessing from God that this place opened up,” says Parker. The business has since expanded to a second location in Brentwood in the Seven Springs...

One of Lipscomb’s Student Government Association’s aspirations is to help create an energized campus atmosphere every year. To SGA President Andrew Hunt, this year will hold plenty of exciting opportunities for LU students. “I feel like it is our responsibility to make sure students have a good experience,” said Hunt, a Corporate Management senior from Centerville, Tenn. “We are going to provide events . We want people to have fun, but we want to provide spiritually uplifting opportunities and academically challenging opportunities, too.” SGA is partnering with Residence Life and the Student Activities Board to bring bigger and better events to students on campus. Among this year’s anticipated events are Lipscomb’s annual Paint the Herd, a fall concert and a spring concert. “We can have a whole lot more events [if we partner with Residence Life and SAB],” Hunt said, affirming that the events can be of better quality with the partnership. “In the end, it’s not about if this is a SGA event,” Hunt said. “It’s about students having the opportunity to do this because SGA had a part in it.” Students can be looking forward to this semester’s fall concert with Dave Barnes, which will be on Oct. 1 in Collins Alumni Auditorium at 7 p.m. The spring headliner will be announced at a later date. Dining still a central focus for SGA SGA has been pushing for off-campus meal plans for a long time. Patrick Grace, the 2012-2013 SGA President, officially announced the soon-to-be off-campus meal plans last year. This year, Hunt is proud to see the hard work pay off. “We’ve been working toward that for years,...
