| A Letter from the President Next steps Now, as we begin the seventh year of leadership, we do so with the same enthusiasm, a great deal more knowledge and a much greater appreciation for what God and His people can do in His service. |
| Alumnus of the Year: Mike Adams Michael F. Adams is a leader in higher education. Actually, he’s been a leader in just about everything he has undertaken in his life including during his tenure at Lipscomb when he became national president of Circle K (the collegiate arm of Kiwanis) and founded that national organization’s first female chapter, at Lipscomb. You might say, he’s a real bulldog. |
| Remembering a Lipscomb Legend Dean Craig Mack Wayne Craig was a fixture on the Lipscomb campus for more than half a century. A friend to generations of students, Lipscomb lost a great leader and friend March 1 with the passing of the former dean and vice president. A well-known preacher, educator, storyteller and historian, Craig, 85, played a vital role in the life and history of Lipscomb University. |
| It Begins. Lipscomb:Next, the university’s newly announced initiative to invest $125 million in the school by its 125th anniversary in 2016, is intended to change the futures of thousands of students. But it is clearly already changing the landscape of the university.

| Helping Opryland Hotel keep its head above water Patrick Chaffin When Nashville’s great flood of 2010 hit, few businesses were more affected than the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, a major tourism and convention hotel on the banks of the city’s Cumberland River.

| Bison athletics: A look back at a decade of success In October, Lipscomb will complete its first decade as a member of an NCAA Division I athletic conference—the Atlantic Sun Conference.

| Center Stage: Theatre Department raises the curtain on more stages, bigger audiences. In recent years, there has been a lot of hard work and investment made in Lipscomb’s theatre program. The result? A great program in three acts: on campus, in the city and nationally. The growth began several years ago when, acting on his belief that a great liberal arts university must have great music, art and theatre, President L. Randolph Lowry initiated a reinvention of the program that included the addition of new department chair Mike Fernandez. Fernandez came with more than nine years experience in academic theatre and a mandate to grow the department. |
