Chris O’Connell ’13 In the last two years, I have been a part of 24 issues of the Tartan; writing, editing, panicking, editing some more, printing and hoping that the student body will pick up the eight pages of paper that myself and my team have endlessly worked on, and read. After 2 years of [...]
Faith Gerdes ’15 Men’s basketball is not the only Division III sport this college offers. Neither is men’s soccer. In fact, the Bennett Center is home to 18 other athletic teams throughout the fall, winter, and spring seasons. But why is it that men’s basketball and men’s soccer seem to be the only sports this [...]
Mallory Moench ’14 In chapel on March 4, President Lindsay made a bold call to action for Gordon women to step up to leadership positions on campus – more specifically an order to “get busy, women”. While some commended the President’s directness and the intent of his message, others, particularly women leaders involved in various [...]
Aaron Gehr ’13 Last week my news feed had an all-out war, and I’m sure yours did too. The battle lines were drawn with red equal signs and political articles versus Bible passages and Rick Warren quotes. My status kept silent in keeping with my personal policy of no politics on Facebook. However I [...]
Amber Fiedler ’13 In one of the last chapels before spring break, President Lindsay put a call out to the women of Gordon. In short, he challenged us to step up and became active members in leadership positions around campus. As a woman who has pursued numerous leadership positions on campus and [...]
Chris O’Connell ’13 On Feb. 15, students received an email detailing next year’s tuition costs. For second semester seniors like myself the information inside was given no heed, but for students of any other grade, the large sum of $42,660 for the ’13-’14 school year probably dropped a few jaws. But, the email stated, this [...]
Chris O’Connell ’13 It was the perfect time for a championship. Three years after Gordon’s last sports championship victory, the men’s basketball team seemed poised to do it again. Headed to No. 1 seeded Curry College, the Scots were coming in hot, fresh off two blowout playoff victories (Roger Williams 81-59, Wentworth 73-54). For the [...]
Becca Reitmeyer ’14 How do Gordon College students use chapel? I am not asking merely how we use the chapel hour, be it time for homework or time to listen, but how we view its role in our Christian liberal arts education. How do we integrate it into our everyday lives? Chapel is not church, [...]
Jaime Dibernardo ’14 I remember when I saw my first goose. He was flapping his arm trying to do that sweaty-armpit-sound-thing. He could honk too. Any time the band would play, he’d saunter up to the trash can, flourish out a tissue, and blow/honk his nose until he was on the verge of trouble. [...]
Trey Walsh ’14 We all know that Gordon College is a liberal arts institution, set on raising academically well-rounded Christian leaders in this world. Despite the different understandings we may have of the words “well-rounded” and “leader” I just used to cast Gordon’s vision, it is a noble effort and one that will look different [...]
