BVU Tack

A “McCorkle” is known as several things. It’s known as abuilding that was demolished to make way for the apartments on Buena Vista University campus. It’s also the last name of Paul McCorkle and Vivian McCorkle who were both members of the Board of Trustees for BVU, with Paul served as President of the Master Builders of Iowa. But there’s one more McCorkle-related thing that hasn’t been mentioned: the McCorkle trip.

Buena Vista University students will host two community sports events this April as part of a sports management course designed to provide hands-on experience in event planning. The events — Spring Football Fest on April 16 and Dam Good Sports Day on April 25 — are organized by students in Professor Wesley Brennan’s sports management class, which emphasizes real-world application of sports business concepts.

Angeline Boulley, author of “Firekeeper’s Daughter,” shared lessons on storytelling, perseverance and representation during a visit to Buena Vista University. Boulley’s debut novel, “Firekeeper’s Daughter,” received widespread recognition, earning the Michael L. Printz Award and the William C. Morris Award, making her one of the few authors to win both honors for the same work.

On April 1, NASA’s Artemis II mission launched from Earth. As I watched the NASA livestream of the launch, I marveled at the fact that, for the first time in over 50 years, mankind is on its way back to the moon. I even teared up when astronaut Reid Wiseman told mission control, “We have a beautiful moonrise, we’re headed right at it.” The Orion is only the second stage of the multi-step Artemis mission.

Game day is something athletes spend time working their way up to, getting ready for days prior, right up to the pre-game clock ticking down to zero. Every athlete has their own game day rituals and superstitions. For me, the biggest thing I have to do — my superstition for game day — is listen to music that gets the heart pumping and the head bopping, but also some songs to slow down the rhythm and relax. So here are my top songs for the big day: game day.

Students across the country have long used peaceful protests on school grounds to speak out about issues that matter to them. Whether it is walking out of class, holding signs, or gathering with classmates, these actions are a way for students to express their views and be heard. However, when schools punish students for protesting, it raises serious concerns about their First Amendment rights.

There are four ethical pillars all journalists are supposed to uphold when considering what and how they release their content. The main pillar of focus in today’s world is “Seek Truth and Report It.” The main reason this pillar is under scrutiny is due to the increasing presence of misinformation and disinformation in media and news today.

Zines — short for “magazines” — are self-independently published works that are usually unprofessionally made and catered to a specific audience. They are often cheap to make and have a “DIY” type of vibe for the work. These zines are popularly used to voice anything from the individual. To recap Bookriot’s study of zines, in the 1930s, the photocopiers were not yet invented; what was available during this period was the mimeograph machine.

It’s first amendment week! This video explores the right to assemble and how it impacts our daily lives, often in ways we don’t realize.

Have you ever wondered where your tuition and money go at BVU? My curiosity about this topic all started with the increase in our parking passes.It increased from my freshman year, from around $50.00 to now, around $100. We didnot get any new parking but it somehow increased. This led to the question, where does our money from tuition and things like that go? Buena Vista University (BVU) is a private institution that does not legally have to make its financial records public.
