SGA is sponsoring a canned food drive Monday, Dec. 5 through Friday, Dec. 9. The cans will go to We Care’s food pantry to help those in need around Christmas.

To get students to participate in the canned food drive, the Office of Student Life will take away three points per can turned in up to 15 points – five cans.

The point forgiveness incentive was based off something that senior Daniel Grayton’s hometown library had done in the past with overdue book fines.

There is a place for correction and God has placed people in authority to handle this act, I will never deny that. In fact, the correction structure is quite possibly my favorite apparatus within a functioning Christian community.

The twelfth annual session of Catalyst took place last week, Oct. 5 – 7, in Atlanta, Ga., with “Be Present,” as the theme. About 13,000 young leaders in Christ, including many Bryan students, came together to grow in their calling and to learn more about their leadership abilities.

Instead of the typical mass e-mails going to student inboxes requesting rides to airports, cities or other states, students now have Lion’s List.

Until this semester, the approach of school breaks often brought dozens of e-mails to the Office of Student Life that were forwarded to the inbox of every student. Sometimes students ignored these e-mails, but other times they resulted in a student making it home for Fall or Christmas Break.

Lion’s List is a new feature linked from eStudent where students can post requests for rides and textbooks or inform students of things they are selling.

Lion’s List is the result of a semester-long project done in Professor of Communications Randy Hollingsworth’s Small Group Communications class. Read full story »

When students sign the document saying they have read and agree to abide by the Student Handbook, they submit to the college’s rules and direction and give up their legal rights to free speech, peaceful assembly, and the Second Amendment, among others.

That does not mean the college has the legal right to do anything it wills. Students are still protected by the Student Handbook and contract law. In the law’s eyes, the handbook is a contract between the college and the student and both parties must agree with the document. The discipline process at Bryan attempts to provide a fair hearing for students accused of rule breaking.
