Black History Month events planned

By Michelle Loria Alvarado Contributor Trevecca will kick off  Black History Month with several events until April with the theme “Many cultures, one community.”   The goal is to be intentional about celebrating experiences outside of the dominant culture at Trevecca which can lead to a more healing community, said Terrence Schoefield, ASC provost for mission excellence and reconciliation.   “People hurt in isolation and a lot of times when you get in a community and have those social conversations..you understand about the experience [of other cultures],” he said. Black History Month is celebrated in February to appreciate African American culture and commemorate those in history who fought for the equality of races.  Trevecca’s Diversity Council and Walen...

‘The Eras of Trevecca’ Homecoming 2023 Schedule

By Sol Ayala Online News Editor On Saturday Nov. 4, the homecoming parade will be making its comeback after last year’s parade getting cancelled last minute due to weather conditions. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Trevecca homecoming parade. The structure of the parade is striving for each float to represent a time during the 50 years since the parade started. Madison Triplett, sophomore class president,  along with the sophomore class council, oversee all preparations for the parade, and they picked the theme for this year’s parade. Usually there is not an overall theme to go along with the parade, but with this year being a special anniversary, she thought that this year needed a theme.  The theme for the 2023 homecoming parade will be walking us through “the Er...

Walden celebrates the success of the first Black Renaissance

By Grace Beckner Editor-in-Chief Walden student leaders - Maya Smith, Benise Dunhart, Howard Dodd, and Cie Kelly Just over a year ago, Walden student leaders, Trevecca’s Black student association, dreamt of hosting a safe space for Black business owners to gather on campus. This semester, Maya Smith, a sophomore social work major and events coordinator and secretary for Walden, was able to help make the dream a reality. “We wanted to highlight the successes of Black people, so we chose to have it in Black History Month on purpose,” Smith said. “When people reflect on Black History Month, it’s usually on things associated with slavery or pain or suffering. This wasn’t like that. This was a time for people to celebrate.” On Feb. 23, Walden hosted a Black Renaissan...

Exercise science professor awarded teaching excellence award

By Lauren Steinbrook Staff Writer Photo courtesy to Trevecca Marketing Aaron Hall chuckles a little when he recalls that his application to work at Trevecca first ended up in the department chair’s junk email. “It was a God thing for me to come here. I never thought about teaching, and I didn’t know anything about Trevecca,” said Hall, associate professor of exercise science. “My application went into Dr. Patterson’s junk mail, so it was by chance she found my application…I wouldn’t be here without God.”  Hall is this year’s recipient of Trevecca’s Teaching Excellence Award. On March 2, Tom Middendorf, university provost, presented Hall with the annual award given to a faculty member. “He is known for deeply investing in the lives of students,” said Middendorf during...
