McGowan named LWC Criminal Justice Professor From Duane Bonifer A lot of people don't land their dream job until they have labored for decades in their profession. That's one reason why Casey Hardy McGowan is excited to be back at Lindsey Wilson College. McGowan was recently named a Lindsey Wilson criminal justice professor and director of the college's Title IX compliance, where she serves as the college's Title IX coordinator. She also will serve as public defender for the Columbia region in nearby Taylor County. "I'm really excited to be back here," said McGowan, who grew up in Jamestown, Kentucky, and graduated from Lindsey Wilson in 2014 with a degree in English and criminal justice and a women's studies minor.

Wigginton challenges let Jesus into your situations By Simon Baker, student news writer, Office of Campbellsville University Communications When do you call on Jesus? When you are anxious, need help on an exam or when life is going wrong?
