Masland Library’s Hidden Treasures
This past weekend, as I was gathering articles for my research paper on the Masland Library database, I came across the most interesting thing: the Cairn library has a blog. In addition to this fact, I explored the library’s Facebook page, only to learn that the library conducts treasure hunts
Enactus End-of-Year RIDE Reflection
Cairn Enactus has conducted RIDE (Résumé, Interview, Dress, Etiquette) seminars and mock interviews on campus for 16 years, but this year was the best. On February 11, RIDE began with a seminar on how to conduct a job search. On February 24, RIDE mock interviews were held with over 100
We are His Poem: A Discussion of Worth
If you were in chapel last Wednesday (March 8th), you know how good it was. If you weren’t there, you definitely missed out. I am not alone in my opinion that this past chapel was one of the best hours I have ever spent on campus. While I could go on

From moldy bread, rotten fruits, unhealthy selections, poor kitchen management,
More than a Bubble Blower
Living on Cairn’s campus is often referred to as, “living inside a bubble.” This metaphor is accurate, and I have used it for myself once or twice (okay, maybe a dozen). Is this metaphor altogether wrong, or even inappropriate? No. Does this metaphor speak volumes to living on Cairn’s campus?
Guys and Dolls
All the countless hours of memorization and practicing came to their climax during Cairn Opera Theatre’s performance of Guys and Dolls this past weekend. Friday night was my first real experience with Cairn’s music department. Walking into chapel, I honestly did not know what to expect. While I had always
