The bass is thumping. The electric guitar rocks. The room is filled with the overall auditory beauty that comes when various instruments come together. But the spotlight falls on one person alone: the keyboardist leading the congregation in song. Christy Dickison, the worship leader at the West Market location of North Ridge Community Church, raises […]

This year will mark Milligan’s fifth year with the men’s volleyball program. The program began in the 2013-14 academic year, with coach Doneva Bays, also the women’s volleyball coach, at the helm.

Brand New has a new album, released on August 19, and it is as good as the pun of Brand New’s brand new album. It’s called “Science Fiction,” which is more than a fitting title. It’s quirky, it’s kind of dark, and it’s a jam. It should be listened to with both headphones in, because […]
