Bison Parent Prayer Gathering image
On the first Tuesday of each month the parent program hosts a monthly prayer Zoom for our Lipscomb families. You are invited to join us as we get to know other parents, share prayer requests and praises.

Each month, a guest speaker who is a faculty member, local minister or parent, will facilitate our time together. This month, Andrew Leeper is joining us. Leeper serves as the worship minister at Brentwood Hills Church of Christ. Another fun fact about Andrew is that he is a dedicated leader of Nashville Severe Weather who helps protect the community through reliable weather information and forecasting.

The Zoom begins at 10:55 a.m. CT. This is the same time that our students will be in “The Gathering” which is our large group chapel. What a beautiful thing it is to take a break in the day to worship and pray together. Feel free to join us on screen or by voice—we understand you may be working!
The December parent prayer Zoom is on Tuesday, Dec. 2 at

CAMPUS NEWS

As the end of the fall semester approaches, many of your students are looking at internships for 2026! We are so grateful to have alumni, parents and friends of Lipscomb in many of Nashville’s greatest companies. Many of you are doing fantastic work in industries ranging from art to education to healthcare, and we know how much you care about the futures of your students.
If your company hires interns and does not yet have a recruiting relationship with Lipscomb University, please reach out to us about setting up an account on our electronic job board. Our community network is our largest asset as we connect students to real world opportunities, and while you cannot serve as a direct supervisor for your child, you could open up a life-changing opportunity for one of their classmates or friends just by spreading the word.
Please email careerdevelopment@lipscomb.edu if you have part-time job or internship opportunities to share!
