BMC Hosts Its Annual CRV Banquet Blue Mountain College hosted its annual Christian-Related Vocation (CRV) Banquet on September 16th. Held in the Ray Dining Hall, the banquet featured delicious food prepared by the MMI Dining Services team. Various representatives from the Mississippi Baptist Convention (MBC) were in attendance, including Executive Director-Treasurer Dr. Shawn Parker. Every student at Blue Mountain who has surrendered to the ministry and currently receives the


The Choice
BMC Pledge night is a night to be remembered. Pledges gather at the MLB auditorium to prepare for their entry into one of our campus’s time-honored societies. Each society is different and attracts different types of people. As dusk falls, the pledges prepare to declare their choice. Nerves and excitement are plentiful as they edge up to the decision. The women choose between the Eunomian, Euzelian, and Modenian societies. The men choose between the Berean or Macedonian socie


A Church Family Away from Home
Blue Mountain Baptist, along with other area churches, have services specifically for college students. Students at Blue Mountain College can take advantage of the wonderful opportunities provided by area churches to get involved and plugged into a college ministry. The most prominent local churches geared toward BMC students include First Baptist Ripley, Blue Mountain Baptist, and First Baptist New Albany. Each of these churches have a class or group specifically designed fo


Everyman with a Twist
The Blue Mountain Theatre Department held the production of Everyman 2.0 on September 30th – October 2nd in Garett Hall Auditorium, based off the play Everyman with the actors giving it a more modernized vibe. This adaptation awarded Chloe Harris the lead role of Everyman. I asked her how she obtained the lead role. She answered, “Truthfully, I didn’t audition for the lead role. I am in BMC’s drama team, IMPACT, and all its members are required to audition. I would have been


Dr. Connor Fisher: New English Faculty
With BMC being a small college in a small community, people get to know one another and get used to seeing each other rather quickly, so it can be very exciting to see new faces. Alongside 2021 being the year in which BMC has had its highest attendance numbers in its history, it has also welcomed two new professors to its campus. As an English writing major, I was compelled to interview the new English professor, Dr. Connor Fisher, who has a BA in English, an MA in literary s


Jerrell Howell: New Coach on Campus
Jerrell Howell is the new BMC powerlifting coach and baseball strength & conditioning coach. I asked him what makes BMC different compared to other places he has worked before, and he said that it is the love for the athletes and the love of the sport that each athlete has. He said that he can see every single one of the players that he is training is willing and ready to get better, and he loves that they share his passion to become better at their sport. He went to Mississi


Chapel Makes a Comeback
On October 6, 2021, all students received the email that Chapel would make a full-fledged return to the way that it had been before Covid. With masks gone and this development, the campus has pretty much returned to its pre-Covid state – except, it’s better than ever. At the beginning, Chapel went completely virtual, and that presented its own set of challenges for our administration. Once the number of cases was consistently low and it was safe to do so, we were finally able


BMC Curiosities
Blue Mountain College is a bit of a historical mystery for a multitude of reasons, like its being in operation since 1873, being a predominantly female-led college, as well as having been a fully co-Educational facility since 2005, to list a few. Surely with nearly 150 years of operation, there are bound to be stories from some of the faculty? Well, that is exactly what I have set out to do with this article! I emailed as well as interviewed the department chairs just to answ
