The University’s latest construction project was completed as of today — the renovation of Kendall Hall — and the final product was a shock to all: Kendall Hall is now a coed dormitory.
Lifestyle
For many Harding students, spring break is spent in Florida or Colorado, but that was not the case for a few students this year. Juniors Kelcy Mayes, Matti Brown and Carly Slate vacationed in Hawaii. Mayes said the idea came up last September.
CAB hosts weekly bingo nights
The Harding Campus Activities Board (CAB) provides many activities on campus over a semester. Currently, CAB hosts bingo nights at Late-Night Caf in the Charles White Dining Hall on Tuesday nights. These bingo nights last from 9-9:30 p.m., and prizes are awarded to the winners. Senior CAB student director Coleman Bevill described CAB’s inspiration behind the bingo nights.
Students begin using app ‘BeReal’
Fantasy sports, particularly fantasy football, have been popular for a while, and the industry is still growing. Some leagues who participate face punishments that are often coined as “friendly” for the loser, and in the case of senior Jackson Montgomery, that included a full stomach after a six-hour stay at Waffle House.
Several students, from a variety of majors, are taking on internships this semester. Some students will be gone for up to eight weeks, while others for only a week. One such student is sophomore Topher Hearn, an accounting major interning at CBIZ in Memphis, Tennessee.
A weekend in Northwest Arkansas
Harding University is located within driving distance of two Southeastern Conference (SEC) universities: the University of Arkansas and the University of Mississippi. Both Fayetteville, Arkansas, and Oxford, Mississippi, are located within 200 miles of Searcy, Arkansas. This semester, several Harding students have taken advantage of the close proximity of these universities, traveling with friends and family for a weekend road trip.
