Black and White Community
Hello, Spring? More than a few students prayed for the reprieve of a snowstorm during midterms, but it came in an overabundance. It is safe to say the weather has put campus a little out of sorts. Sure, a lengthy spring break was desperately needed by many as exhaustion mounted
“Every Voice Should be Heard”
This week I decided to sit down with one of Cairn’s very own, Lizzie Walker. During Walker’s first year here, she was a part of the Urban Ministry First Year Program. Now she is a Senior in the School of Social Work who has plans of graduating in December of
