Political Perspective: Capital Frenemies

24 Aug 20177 Sep 2017 ~ The Critograph ~ Leave a comment

Carter Elliot, Staff Columnist~

Before coming to Washington D.C., I had every predetermined bias that any other citizen would have because of the media.

In Lynchburg, I would avidly watch the news and stay up-to-date on current events throughout the country, especially in the capital . Mostly I watch CNN or MSNBC and Continue reading “Political Perspective: Capital Frenemies” →

LC in History: Hopwood’s Generous Bounty

23 Aug 20177 Sep 2017 ~ The Critograph ~ Leave a comment

 

Dr. Clifton W. Potter, LC History Professor~

In the midst of the furor and tragedy surrounding the potential removal of Confederate monuments, it is important to pause and remember the origins of our own college home.

Who was Dr. Josephus Hopwood, the man whose dream is our everyday reality? Continue reading “LC in History: Hopwood’s Generous Bounty” →

“I came from a very small Quaker private school, we didn’t have baseball, so when I came here as a recruit I was excited to be able to be apart of a program and know that I was going into a team of guys. I was excited to just keep playing baseball. Over these four years I’ve gained a lot of great relationships both on and off the field, and Lynchburg College gave me the small campus vibe where I could go and talk to my professors or coach about anything. That’s what I was looking for.” TJ Koop, 5th year senior #studentvoices #universityoflynchburg #thecritograph
A little cuteness with your Crit this week 🥰🐶 We know these next two weeks are going to be filled with studying and stress, but make sure you take time to relax and unwind, and maybe even check up on the #campusbuzz with your copy of the Critograph 🐝🗞 (also, peep the vintage Lynchburg map!!) #universityoflynchburg #critograph
“One of my major concerns with the walk out was that I never really felt welcome here. I loved the campus when I visited, but when I got here, I felt like I’ve never been more aware that I’m black until I came here, when I walk around I do see people who look like me, but I don’t see a lot of people who look like me. In the classrooms, all of the teachers are pretty much white, when I’m in class, a lot of the times, I am the only black student in class, so like, it’s a little bit uncomfortable. But at the end of the day, I am who I am. With the walk out, I am glad somebody initiated that, because to me it really shows people are willing to put their foot in the door and push for change. And with that, I’m just really hoping people are going to take it seriously and take the steps that actually are going to bring about change. These kinds of things happen in ignorance of other people's cultures, so if we are not educating people on that, then you're just gonna see the same thing happening over and over again. I want to challenge faculty and staff to step up, speak up and not just stand in the background. It also starts with them. If the classroom does not become more diverse and inclusive, we are just going to stay where we are.” Victoria Williams, U of L Senior Communications and Theatre Major #studentvoices #universityoflynchburg #thecritograph
Today University of Lynchburg students gathered on the Dell to partake in a walkout in response to an incident of cultural appropriation that occurred this past weekend. Students and staff members alike stood on the steps of Hall Campus Center to speak out against racism and advocate for diversity and unity on campus. #universityoflynchburg #walkout #thecritograph
It is officially cold enough to cozy up, stay in, sip some coffee and catch up on this week’s #campusbuzz with the latest copy of the Crit 🥰✨#universityoflynchburg #critograph #cozy
“The best thing I love about being at Lynchburg is the special moments that you can have with each individual, it doesn’t matter if you know them or not, you gain somewhat of a close connection with anybody it doesn’t matter their race gender or anything else” Markus Herbet, Junior at University of Lynchburg #studentvoices #thecritograph
