Igniting opportunities for growth, learning and discovery

Since its founding in 1891, Lipscomb University has been devoted to educating students with academic excellence to positively change the world for good. Together, we are focused on creating transformative educational experiences that allow our students to grow intellectually, socially and spiritually throughout their time at Lipscomb. Our focus on scholarship is igniting opportunities for growth, learning and contributions to knowledge in a variety of fields. As scholars, our students and faculty play an important role in advancing knowledge in their disciplines. Their work is critical to expanding the frontiers of understanding and vital to the future of our society, with research that provides insights into pressing issues, challenges existing understanding and creates new avenues of inquiry.

In this issue, we will share the progress that Lipscomb is making in these areas. The Office of Research and Grants and the new University Research Council are building support for our faculty in their scholarship endeavors, while the new Digital Repository allows us to share the knowledge developed at Lipscomb with the world. The Lipscomb Health Sciences Center will serve as a hub of research for our health science programs and the new Ph.D. program will nurture emerging scholars in their growth at Lipscomb (Read more about these Impact 360 advancements on page 3). We are looking forward to sharing more with you!
