Rec Sports
One of the greatest things that students enjoy doing at Messiah College, is Rec Sports. See the thing is that if you win for whatever sport you participate in then you are awarded the coveted Rec Sports T-shirt. This isn’t any T-shirt. It equates with status, prestige and pure athletic awesomeness. [...]

Spring at Messiah
Now that the weather is warmer, the campus is so much more lively as people walk from class to class. One of the things that me and my friends do every Tuesday night, now that the temperature is warm, is go swimming! Granted, its an indoor pool, so we could have gone swimming in the [...]

Springtime at Messiah
Spring is a wonderful time of year no matter where you are, but especially at Messiah! The air gets warmer, the birds begin chirping, flowers are blooming and the trees are tinged with green buds.

The Sounds and Sights of Spring
As the cold, blustery winds of winter die down, the snow melts away, and the cold steadily turns to a warmth, Messiah is once again brought alive. Green sprouts from the ground and trees, flowers pop up, blue stretches across the sky, and the sun finally sheds its light on our eagerly anticipating student body. [...]

Getting that perfect place…
Apartment or dorm room? Will my lava lamp fit on the window sill? Can I bring my bear skin rug? Messiah guarantees students housing while they are here studying. However, the hard and exciting aspect of that is choosing where you want to live. Freshman year, students have to live in a freshman dorm (Hess, [...]

Messiah Students
I was driving in the car yesterday with a friend from Messiah. She turned to me and said “Jen, I’ve been thinking…isn’t it incredible, the people that we get to be surrounded with while at Messiah? I mean, really, we have some awesome friends.” I sat back in my seat and smiled. She is [...]

The Gift of Grace
Recently our student chaplain team devoted our morning chapel to a beautiful message about the wonder of God’s grace. With the entirety of the onlooking students sitting on the floor in a circle around a cross, the team read the haunting words of members of our student body who anonymously shared their struggles, fears, worries, [...]

Spring Break!
So it is almost time for spring break! That means that everyone is packing up their beach towels and the suntan lotion for the beach…right? Actually this year I have heard of less people going to catch the waves and more people going to use their time to help others. The Agape Center for Service [...]

Equal Support of All Teams
Nearly every weekend the campus is a buzz with sporting events; soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter, and baseball and lacrosse in the spring. Everyone around asks, “Are you going to the game tonight?” I often respond with, “What about the game this afternoon?” Generally, the women’s games are played before the men’s [...]
