This week was the last week of classes and next week is finals week! That means I will be catching up on all of my stories.
The last one I finished was printed in our last newspaper of the semester on Wednesday. It was over a few students who have internship in Orlando, Florida at Disney World and SeaWorld. The links for the PDFs for this week's paper are not up yet so I can't attach it to this.
But that story, along with the ones I finish next week, will be available on scupdate.org soon!
On the administration/faculty side of this blog...at outdoor chapel on Wednesday, they announced that the new campus minister will be Ben Hanne.
Upcoming Events:
May 1 @ 7 p.m.: Broadway Builders featuring SC Singers and the Musical Theater Ensembles.
May 2 @ 7:30 p.m.: Choral Union Concert "America The Beautiful"
Men's and Women's outdoor track is at Bethany May 1-2 for the KCAC Outdoor Championships
Finals begin May 4 and run until May 7.
The dining hall will close for the summer after lunch on Friday, May 8.
Graduation events take place May 9-10!

2 weeks left...
The next two weeks will be full of stories from me on UpdateSC but here are my latest ones:
Alicia Barnett's senior project: This was actually a lot of fun to be a part of. Alicia initially asked me to take pictures, so I got to do pictures for her and this video for UpdateSC. I ended up getting a free meal, gifts, and a blanket out of it!
Bloodmobile: I had the opportunity to do a short story over the blood drive on campus this week.
Faculty changes: This story was interesting to write because I had to find all the information about what's changing, who's going where, etc...it was like an inside look at what's happening on campus!
Our student media staff attended KCM (Kansas Collegiate Media) this weekend in Wichita. I got an honorable mention for my story over BibleTalk! Check it out here.
Upcoming events:
This weekend is Founders Weekend. I will be at all of the events so be ready for a story and a slideshow either Saturday night or Sunday.
The Cherokee Maidens will perform Saturday, April 18 at 8 p.m. in Richardson.
The Spring Choir Concert, "Soundscapes," will take place at 3 p.m. on April 19 in Richardson.
Senior chapel is next Wednesday (April 22). Selected seniors will be speaking during the service.
The South Kansas Symphony will present "Prairie Potential" on Sunday, April 26 at 3 p.m. in Richardson.
Finals week is May 4-8.
Graduation will take place on May 10.

Story updates and upcoming events
One of my latest stories includes an audio story that I had the opportunity to do for one of my fellow students, Lindsey Graber. Lindsey is a junior Religion & Philosophy major and she presented her paper "Eve’s Courage, Adam’s Nobility: Friedrich Nietzsche’s Gendered Views of Courage and Nobility" in the library on March 26. She presented in front of some of her classmates and teachers and offered a Q&A time after her lecture. Listen here.
I also wrote a story over Pat Ross this week that was printed in The Collegian. It focused on his collection of board games (he owns 762 board games). I would say this is one of my favorite stories that I have done. You can read it here.
I received an email from him yesterday. He said, "Wonderful article. You did a nice job weaving together a fun story about me and my gaming friends. Thanks for putting in the effort." It was nice to get that kind of feedback from him on this story. It was also a great opportunity to meet professors outside of my department.
Upcoming events:
The SC Youth Symphony will present their spring concert "Our Journey" on Sunday at 6 p.m. in Richardson.
Bishop Richard Wilke will lead chapel on April 1.
The last day for seniors to apply for graduation is 5 p.m. on April 1.
Dr. Joseph Dongell will present the Parkhurst Lecture at 7 p.m. on April 1 in Wroten.
Next Friday (April 3) is Good Friday. There will be no classes and SC offices will be closed.
April 8 is Assessment Day. (I have heard that the chapel team has something fun planned for that day!)
Music and theater students will begin their recitals in the next few weeks and into the end of the school year. I will have more about those as they get closer.
There will be 2 more weeks of the SC Lent Blog. Keep up with it here.

Story updates & spring break
Last Friday I went to the Christian Howes concert in Richardson. I put together a story and video and it is now up on UpdateSC.
Check it out here.
Last Thursday, I got to take pictures at the SC track invitational. This was the first time I have ever done track pictures and I had a lot of fun! It was a great experience, I got some pretty good pictures (which made me happy), and I got to watch some of my friends run! To see one of my pictures, click here.
I will also have the board games story posted next week. It will be featured in The Collegian which will come out on March 25.
This week was spring break. Dorms open on Sunday, the dining hall will open at breakfast on Monday, and classes begin again Monday morning.
The SC Lent blog will resume posts this week. We took a short break for spring break. Be sure to check it out for a new post Monday-Friday at lentsc.blogspot.com.
