‘Dear Nana’

Campus Times

Dear Nana, It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly five years since you passed away. I still remember staying up late at your apartment in Middletown playing old NCAA video games on my Xbox 360. I remember when you lived in your old house across from where the library used to be, and we would...

Stepping up as a leader

Campus Times

As the sun completes its slow descent in the sky over Campbellsville City Lake, award-winning runner Samuel Larson and a group of friends have managed to find time to go fishing. Larson takes a kayak out into the depths of the lake, while his friends, mainly teammates, remain on shore. The group was unable to...

Confessions of a college mascot

Campus Times

It’s hard to believe I disguised myself in a tiger costume for four years of my college career, but to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have many great memories from being Clawz the tiger. Many great, sweaty memories. A lot of people ask me how I booked the gig in...

Four years, four versions of me

Campus Times

College is like a test you don’t prepare for. You either figure it out or fall behind. But what’s not an option is giving up. Four years later, I’ve met four different versions of myself.

‘God opens and closes doors’

Campus Times

During Campbellsville University’s spring game on Saturday, April 18, former Tiger starting quarterback, Jagger Gillis, went to work with Tiger quarterbacks in an official coaching role for the first time. Playing football has meant so much to Gillis, now a senior at CU. It gave him so many opportunities. Then, it was suddenly taken away...

Campbellsville University’s haunted hotspot

Campus Times

The Gosser Fine Arts Center was not always what it is today. In the 1960s, it served as a Catholic hospital known as the Old Rosery Hospital. The building once housed a morgue in what is now the basement, and while many patients died there, some say not everyone ever checked out—even after death. “With...

More than a bakery

Campus Times

It’s often said the fastest way to the heart is through the stomach. For Ashley Ensminger, this unique connection started by baking for her son. What began as a weekly batch of signature cinnamon rolls for him, quickly grew into something more, the Messy Bun. A downtown bakery and café built on connection, comfort and...
