CHRISTMAS ON CAMPUS

HOLIDAY RECIPES

Does your family enjoy cooking together? Here are a few recipes from our Associated Women for Lipscomb’s cookbook “Avalon Favorites.” A few of the recipes are original recipes from Margaret Lipscomb, wife of founder David Lipscomb. We hope your family can enjoy cooking together in the kitchen over the Christmas break. 

END-OF-YEAR GIVING

A Gift that Supports Students
As you think about making your end-of-year gifts to causes dear to you and your family, please consider making a gift to the Lipscomb Opportunity Scholarship Fund. This scholarship helps the university attract and retain students like Liz McKell and her friends, whose dream is to attend and graduate from Lipscomb. The number of students who benefit from this scholarship depends on the availability of funds. Giving is personal, but we hope you will consider making a gift that allows more students the opportunity to be a Bison. All gifts—regardless of size—directly impact students. Please make your gift before Dec. 31!
Make a gift to support students!
