#firstworldproblems
By Corley Tweedy I honestly cannot believe that it is already time for Thanksgiving; where has this semester gone? The older I become, the more I see time truly fly by. It’s funny: in the moment, the days and weeks seem to drag by, but when I look back, it is unreal to me [...]
Making a BIG difference for youth
By Abigail Blair When you were just a little kid, who was it that you looked up to? Maybe it was an older sibling or a grandparent, or even a family friend of some sort. Consider how your life would have been different had you not had someone to look up to. For those of [...]
The time for questions…
Critical Encounters By: Bernardo H. Motta Walking in the rain, stepping in water puddles, I see question marks form under my feet. “What are you doing here?” the voice of Dean Carol Scheppard’s question during this year’s opening ceremony echoes in my head. Her voice is not the only one haunting me as [...]
Dive into Founder’s Day
By Ali Morris Bridgewater College will celebrate 132 years since its founding on Tuesday, April 3. However, this year Bridgewater is celebrating a different way than it has in the past. After the annual Founder’s Day ceremony and extraordinary lunch, a campus wide pool party will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. [...]
Overheard on Campus
Professor: Spring Break on the horizon, I know you’re all angry to be here to the bitter end Professor: You’re turning 21, just remember you have your entire life to do stupid things Guy: You don’t go into labor any more, you go into mild discomfort Guy: Africa has no books Tweet

El jefe speaks: A word about change
By President George Cornelius Much has been written and discussed about change recently. Over the past two years I’ve discussed change in the context of the College, its strategic plan and external forces that are impacting higher education today. I have nothing new to say about that subject presently. But before moving on at the [...]
Private Choices
By Cassandra Brown Cassandra, I’d be happy to meet with you, on the condition you not ask why I decided to leave. It’s a personal and private matter, and that’s how I prefer to keep it. I’d be pleased to discuss anything else. George This was the e-mail I received from Bridgewater College President George Cornelius [...]
BC Eagles land short
By Jason Manago-Graves The Eagles took on the Eastern Mennonite Royals in the opening round of the ODAC (Old Dominion Athletic Conference) tournament on Tuesday, February 21. It was a hard fought game on both ends. After the Eagles won the last game both of these teams faced off with a walk-off 3-pointer by [...]
Hoping to go the distance
By Holly Fox Things are quiet on the track now, but within the next few weeks it will be occupied by the talented men and women of the Bridgewater College track and field teams. Whether a sprinter, a distance runner, a pole vaulter, a hurdler, or a thrower doesn’t matter; the bug of excitement [...]
Pinning down BC’s wrestling club
By Will Browning and Erin Pampe For twenty years, both faculty and staff at Bridgewater have been pushing for a wrestling club. Now, thanks to two students, Scott Fike and Drew Painter, a wrestling club has been added to the school extracurricular list. This is a significant feat, for the fledging wrestling club [...]
Combat against contraceptives
By Kelsey Byard Abortion has been a hot-button issue for politicians since the 1973 decision of the Supreme Court in “Roe v. Wade,” which legalized abortion in certain trimesters of a woman’s pregnancy. It seems today that politicians have taken one more giant step into the realm of privacy, arguing over what a woman [...]
Just like family: Bridgewater Retirement Community
By Ali Morris Believe it or not the idea of the Bridgewater Retirement Community (BRC) came from the dedication to the college’s gymnasium. Dr. Jacob Huffman, also known as the father of the Bridgewater home, thought that since the students have a gym, that the elderly should have a home, and that is where [...]
Black History Month is Racist
By Danielle Norris Now that I have your attention, let me explain further. The idea of studying black history and culture is wonderful; condensing it to a month is painfully poor execution. I recently saw a YouTube video in which Brigham Young University’s students struggled to name black historical figures other than Martin [...]

The Challenge
Critical Encounters By Bernardo Motta Ombudsman Creating something new from scratch is never easy, but transforming something that is already set in its own ways into a dynamic ever-evolving equation is a true challenge. This new academic year, the students in my classes, in Veritas, and many others in the college are facing [...]
