LWU Athletics contributes 384 shoeboxes to OCC By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University's intercollegiate athletics program is one of the most successful in the country. But Blue Raider student-athletes and coaches were not counting runs, points or goals on Friday, November 21, 2025. Instead, they were focused on the success and impact of collecting 384 shoeboxes that contained hygiene items, school supplies and toys for disadvantaged children. "It means a lot to me," said Seth Phillips, a graduate student from Clarksville, Tennessee, who is also a tight end on the LWU football team. "Just being able to give back to people who are less fortunate means a lot to me. I'll never know them, but at least I know they'll be OK." The Lindsey Wilson Athletics Department has been part of the worldwide effort since 2013, collecting during that time more than 6,500 total boxes as part of Columbia-Adair County's participation in Operation Christmas Child. The exception was in 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

LWU Alumna Reagan Grider receives Medical School Award Standout medical student earns Medical Student of the Year award from the University of Kentucky Bowling Green Campus chapter of the American College of Physicians. By Duane Bonifer Reagan Grider '22 is not one to embrace the spotlight. That's why the Lindsey Wilson University alumna was more than a little surprised when she was recently honored with the Medical Student of the Year award by the University of Kentucky Bowling Green Campus chapter of the American College of Physicians. Grider was selected for the award, given by one of the oldest medical societies in the U.S., based on a vote by residents in the program. "It was such an honor to receive the award because we have so many talented students in our program," said Grider. "It was not something I expected at all."

Bethany House awarded $35K in VAWA funding From Morgan Hall Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, November 20, 2025, during the Team Kentucky Update, Gov. Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear awarded $2,110,702 in federal grant funding through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) to 29 agencies and organizations across Kentucky to help prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking in the commonwealth. Among the recipients is Bethany House, which has been awarded $35,506 for a court advocate. Bethany House is the designated domestic violence shelter that serves the 10 counties in the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, which includes Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Russell, and Taylor. "Too many Kentuckians have faced the trauma of being a victim of domestic violence in Kentucky, which is why it's been my mission since my time as attorney general to make sure fewer families know that pain," Gov. Beshear said. "This grant funding is vital to providing services and seeking justice, and I am proud to work with the organizations who are providing support directly to victims and their families." The federal VAWA Services, Training, Officers, Prosecution (STOP) Formula Grant Program requires administrating state agencies to allocate grant funding for law enforcement, prosecutors, victim service organizations, and state and local courts. It also allows for a smaller number of discretionary awards and encourages a focus on projects that serve victims of intimate partner violence.
