It is widely known that the Student Senate is planning major changes for the Rec Center.  We've all received emails about focus groups and surveys regarding what the Redeemer community wants to see change in the Rec Center.  This is very exciting for Redeemer.

If you've been to the Rec Center lately, you'll know that it's not exactly a space that encourages having fun.  My first experience in the Rec Center included everyone being warned not to jump much on the second floor, because they thought the floor might cave in.  Clearly there are some issues.

Invisible Children has faced a challenging first month of their Kony 2012 campaign. Since the release of their first video on March 5, there has been an outpour of both support and criticism. On March 16, it was reported that Invisible Children’s co-founder, Jason Russell, was detained by San Diego police for public disturbance and masturbation in public. He was taken to a medical facility in the area. It was reported that the overwhelming reaction to the campaign video put the 33-year old co-founder on edge.

As the year comes to a close, I find myself stepping back and wondering where the time has gone; and I have to say Redeemer, it’s been fun.

Working for The Crown for three years has been one of the biggest challenges, mentally and spiritually, that I have faced at Redeemer. There is a constant battle as a Christian journalist to find a middle space for reporting on and analyzing news. Reporting is never black and white, and that’s important to remember.
