Is procrastination costing you? Do you struggle with means of motivation? Are you tired of feeling like you could do better than you’re doing right now? Well it’s time to move forward, and author Rory Vaden offers you the secret to success. In his recently published New York Times best seller “Take The Stairs”, Vaden shows how to develop the courage, character and determination you need to succeed in anything you attempt. Vaden says It can turn your life around. The Take The Stairs nationwide bus tour kicked off at Lipscomb University, and everyone was allowed to attend a free business lecture in Alumni Auditorium. Attendees were given the option of donating to the Nashville YMCA or another local charity. During the lecture he talked about discipline, setting hard, long-term goals and how to follow through with them. Vaden says that we all think on a certain one-track mind and once we begin subconsciously thinking that way it’s hard to stop. Vaden encouraged all who attended to buy his book and most people who attended who didn’t already own a copy were convinced. He said the most magical thing about taking the stairs – both literally and metaphorically – is that you naturally inspire others to follow your behavior.

Whether you’ve been at Lipscomb for 4 years or 4 weeks, it’s clear that development is playing a huge role in the future of our campus. We’ve already seen a lot of changes in the last few months, what changes can we expect in the months ahead? Please upgrade your browser Tom Wood, Director of Campus Enhancement filled Lumination in on many of the current construction projects. “The north of the [Hughes] building which is currently under construction is our new nursing building, about a 25,000 square foot [facility],” Wood said. It’ll be state of the art for our nursing students. On the south side of Hughes, we will have in a short time frame a “U” shaped complex. The pharmacy research building will go on that south side of Hughes.” “In the future, there will be two more [health science] buildings. One will be in from of the nursing building and the other will be in front of the pharmacy research building.” There are two pieces of land that the university will have to buy, but Wood said that eventually with their purchase and completion of the addition health science buildings, the area will form a five building health science quad on the north side of campus. Also, students and faculty  may be excited to hear that there will be some temporary parking that will be created in the coming months with the construction. “Also, part of this program is a temporary lot which will be behind the Village, which will accommodate about 50 additional cars,” Wood said. “So out of this project here in the next few...
