Concordia University has many different
types of worship opportunities for students.
The University has Chapel services that are
held every morning during the school week.
On Wednesday night, a student led group
called Praise presents a contemporary way
of worshiping. During Praise, student
musicians lead the congregation in worship
music. Every week a speaker prepares a
message to share with the rest of the student
body. Worship on campus can also be found
in the many student led Bible studies. There
are many different types of Bible studies
offered around campus, and every year new
groups form. There are many different and
diverse choices for students to find ways
to worship God on Concordia’s campus.

special dining events, and many more,
there is never a dull moment. Some of the
events are put on by the school, others are
hosted by the many clubs on campus,
and some are simply traditions that have
been formed over the years at Concordia.

This year the Plum Creek Children’s Literacy
Festival hosted authors and Illustrators such
as Ashley Bryan, Alyssa Satin Capucilli, Dan
Gutman, Ralph Masiello, Patricia Polacco,
Pat Schories and Sarah Weeks. In a work
sectional author Alyssa Satin Capucilli and
illustrator Pat Schories discussed creation
of the much loved Biscuit series. Alyssa said
this about being an author, “We observe
life and tuck it inside a book.” In another
sectional, Ashley Bryan, the author and
illustrator of many books, was full of energy
as he taught the audience how to “find the
voice the words are telling you, and become
what the words ask you.”

lined up in front of the crowd during half time.
No one could guess who was going to be
crowned this year. The court was made up
of many individuals that were great leaders
on Concordia’s campus. Emily Scott was
announced Homecomming queen and
Homecoming king was awarded to Micah
May. Both were given the crowns as the
crowd cheered their peers on. Micah May
and Emily Scott congratulated each other,
and received congratulations from other
members of the Homecoming Court as well.
After receiving their crowns and flowers, the
new Homecoming king and queen went back
to the stands to cheer on the Bulldogs for the
remainder of the game.

Nothing describes homecoming better than
having a fun and fancy time with your date or with your group of friends. From nine to twelve post meridiem males and females
alike busted out moves in tune with the music
and chatted with friends on the side. The
first hour of the dance was not all hip-hop
and country, though, as the Concordia band
performed several tunes for the night. Natalie
Kesar, a freshman, stated, “I thought it was
a really good addition to the dance. It put in
some variety.” As for when the country songs
rolled out of the stereos, she added, smiling,
“It was fun to see some of the really good
swing dancers.”

Natalie’s enjoyment for the night was shared
with others as each minute passed and each
song was played. When the night ended,
you could tell without a doubt everyone had
a blast. The smiles on the girls’ faces from
hanging out with their date or the guys’
loosened ties from partying were the easy
clues. Some say the memories that they take
with them from the homecoming dance is the
best part of the weekend.

Concordia’s Twelfth Night performance took
place at the Seward Bandshell. This outdoor
stage was a good fit for the needs of this
play. It was a memorable change from the
usual performances in Weller. Shakespeare’s
Twelfth Night is a tale full of irony. The
audience knows what is going on, but the
characters know almost nothing until the very
last scene when all is revealed. It is a tangled
web of love interests, an epic prank, and a
total confusion of twins who think the other
is dead. It is full of Shakespearean humor
and definitely worth watching.

Pirates of Penzance, written by Arthur
Sullivan and W.S. Gilbert, is full of humor and
romance. The story is centered on Frederic,
who was a pirate’s apprentice. The Pirate
King let’s him go, saying his apprenticeship is
over. Ruth, the pirate’s maid, loves Frederic
and goes with him to shore. Frederic has
never seen another woman other than
Ruth and she tells him that she is most fair.
A group of young women, all of them are
sisters, approach them and Frederic sees
that Ruth has deceived him about her beauty.
After Ruth is sent away, Frederic falls in love
with Mabel, one of the young women. The
two fall in love and comedic series of events
involving pirates, the sisters and their father,
whom is a Major General, unfolds.

Concordia’s production of Shakespeare’s
A Midsummer Night’s Dream was a great
success. The cast was wonderful; the
costumes and makeup were colorful and
whimsical. A Midsummer Night’s Dream
is a story of mismatched lovers, of a band
of amateur actors, and of the antics of
fairies including an extra mischief making
one named Puck. In the end, all is well. The
cast did a fantastic job and left the audience
wanting more.

The lights dim – everything is black,
and the surrounding nighttime walls do
nothing to help your vision. Then – suddenly
– bright lights sting your eyes and you are introduced to the first act of Tartuffe in Concordia University’s black box theater.

A satirical play set in 1660 Paris about
teaching a lesson, every line the characters
spoke – all the way from Tartuffe himself to the ending officer – were in rhymes. Scoffs
were heard and guffaws burst out at the
cleverness of Moliere’s rhyme scheme and
the words he put together to use them. As
the lights dimmed and brightened again at
the end of each act, the audience got more
drawn into the play as we learned the truth
behind Tartuffe’s motives and the tension
building on Orgon’s actions.
“When we look closer,” Professor Bryan
Moore states in the Tartuffe handout, “the message itself asks us to consider not only how we observe and critique others
about their faith, but also how we ourselves
speak out and behave as representatives of our faith.”

The first weekend of One Acts included The
Adventures of Shermock Jones and Dr.
Potsam, Sure Thing, From the Mouths of
Babes, Arena and Time Flies. The second
weekend was divided into two parts. Part one
included The Silent Treatment (comprised of
The Waiting Room, The Seduction, and The
Dream I had Last Night), A Love Story You’ve
Heard Before but won’t Mind Hearing Again,
Meet the Iscariots, and Boiling People in my
Coffee. Part two was an hour and a half long
performance called Basically Broadway. The
actors sung and danced their way through
over twenty songs that were in Broadway
Musicals over the past ten years.
This year during Spring Break the theater
department toured the Midwest. They
travelled from state to state and saw
at least one performance each day.
They were able to interact with and observe
how professionals performed. It gave them
the opportunity to see the different venues
of the performing arts going on in the world

Bulldog Women’s Soccer team went
on a mission trip to Nicaragua in May.
Through partnering with a local youth soccer
club in Lincoln, the team was able to take
over 300 lbs of soccer aid and gear that they
delivered to an orphanage where over ninety
children and youth will be able to use it.
They played soccer and shared their faith
with the children at the Verbo Orphanage
(Managua, Nicaragua) Before playing they
were two groups of strangers playing against
each other and speaking two different
languages, after the game they were one
massive group of passionate soccer players
using the language of the game to realize
that there are really very few differences
between them.

Professors Lynn Soloway and Bruce Creed,
along with 20 Concordia students, travelled

group brushed up on their WWII history

for Monet’s water lily painting at Giverny,
and soaked up the unfathomable wonders
of the Louvre Museum.
The girls were also blessed to make a quick
connection with the local church that drove
once a day into the community to deliver
a meal to many children. They spent much
of their time interacting with locals
and experiencing their culture.

On a trip that Dr. Thurber leads every year
for those interested in an adventurous way
to earn credit hours or for those who love
Europe, the London Literary Tour garnished
that hunger.
The 2010-2011 trip, that set out after
Christmas and went into the first week of
January, visited:
-London, England
-Copenhagen, Denmark
-Vienna, Austria
and,
-Prague, Czech Republic
The trip goes to various places each year,
all centering around London, and also visits
small towns and villages around those
big cities. Places explored are those of
Shakespeare’s grave, Sylvia Plath’s house,
and other exciting moments in history that
any English major would enjoy.

In March, a team of 7 Concordia students,
1 Professor, 1 Pediatrician, 1 Physician’s
Assistant, and 1 teacher travelled to
Guatemala for a medical mission trip. They
went to Spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ
by serving the people of Guatemala. They
were able to help stock the pharmacies
at the three clinics that they helped run.
While the doctors and PA were seeing the
patients, the students took blood pressure
and temperature, and helped distribute the
hygiene kits that they put together.
Other than the health clinic they performed
a community health assessment, in the
mountain community of La Avanzada, that
will help identify the specific needs of that
community for future teams who come to
serve. God blessed the trip by forming new
relationships with the people in Guatemala,
and with successful medical clinics that gave
people some relief from their illnesses and
showed them the love of Jesus Christ.

Walking into the entrance of the gallery,
an individual can become absorbed and
transfixed by the dedication and uniqueness
put into each and every art form. “I’m at a
loss for words right now,” comments Alyssa
Wilson, a freshman and art student herself,
when asked about the display of works.
Her statement worked for others, too, as
many could be seen in groups studying one
particular piece of art.
Even if art is not your thing, viewing it is a whole other concept. From a tower of measuring tools to a picture of unknown
origin, the job of an artist is well done by making us look at the deeper meaning of things used or seen in our everyday lives.
The Marxhausen Gallery also hosts student
work. Each semester senior artists may
display their work, and at the end of the year
there is the annual Student Art Show.

Christmas at Concordia is the most popular
music event on campus every year. Within
two weeks, the concert seats were sold
out. This has never happened and this only
spurred everyone involved to put in countless
hours of practice. Everyone involved put forth
their best efforts and the many hours of finetuning and perfecting was very evident in the
concert. The instrumental and choral pieces
were performed to a level of excellence and
filled the crowd with amazement and awe.

Afraid of needles? Go queasy at the sight
of blood? Even with these fears, many
students participated in one of several blood
drives that happened in the old gym this
year. Five different stations provided medical
information and assisted in the registration
process. Johnathan Cline, a senior, used his
stress ball to help relieve his fear of needles.
Sydney Reich, a freshman, commented
on her donation that afternoon; “It was a good
process. The first time I tried to give blood
was in New Orleans,” she reminisces. “My
iron level in my blood was too low, so I could
not donate, which was disappointing. When
I tried again at Concordia’s previous drive,
it was too low again. I’m real happy that it
worked out this time.” All who donated knew
that by giving a bit of their blood, they could
be saving a life.
CASE is an organization provided for
education majors at Concordia University.
The group members of case get together
and discuss their future careers as teachers.
“CASE provides Concordia’s education majors
with an opportunity to learn more about
issues relating to their future classrooms that
they might not hear about in their college
classes. Our meetings have covered topics
ranging from field trips to teaching overseas,
from student teaching to identifying child
abuse. I think that it is a great place to
learn, to ask questions, and to hang out
with amazing people. Plus we get to have
awesome parties at Dr. Kromminga’s house,
which are always a ton of fun!” said Junior
Hannah Kroonblawd.

Concordia’s Forensics team, also known
as Speech and Debate, participated in a
number of debates this year. The team
traveled regionally and nationally, regularly
attending tournaments through the National
Parliamentary Debate Association, National
Forensics Association, American Forensics
Association and National Christian College
Forensics Association National Tournaments.
In the fall, Concordia co-hosted the Nebraska
Double Up with Creighton University in
Omaha, and in the spring, Concordia hosted
the Sleet and Snow tournament here
in Seward. In addition to competing, the
Forensics team also hosted multiple high
school competitions and tournaments
on campus this year. This year the team
finished in the top five for the competition
at National Christian College Forensics
Association Tournament.
Six years after Hurricane Katrina hit the
southern coast of the United States, areas
such as Mississippi and Louisiana are still
recovering from the devastation caused by the hurricane. This year a group of eight
students from Habitat for Humanity traveled
to Biloxi, Mississippi, during spring break to volunteer. They went to various locations
such as Bethel Church and a number of homes undergoing reconstruction.

A major event that Mission Minded Students
participated in this year, was a conference
held in Texas. At the conference many
missionaries gathered to share stories hoping
to impact and inspire future missionaries,
or anyone interested in mission opportunities.
Some of the areas throughout the world that
were represented were Asia and Turkey.
Emily Ptacek, a member this year, said that
the primary purpose of Mission Minded
is to “Promote missions, to support individual
and group mission trips networking with
missionary and mission agencies.” Mission
Minded members share their Christian love
with communities while building leadership
qualities and providing students on campus
with educational opportunities.

Ongoing Ambassadors for Christ, also known
as OAFC, is a student-led group here on campus. This year’s lead professor was
Professor Groth, and student leader was
Rachel Brainerd. The group met for monthly
meetings in Janzow Top. They discussed
world news and current events, organized
upcoming activities, sang and worshiped
together as well as shared devotionals. Rather
than having just a Bible study where one
person talks, they go around, each reading
a verse and explaining to the rest of the
group what they think each individual verse
meant within context. Doing this helps them
grow together in their relationship with Christ
through the holy Word and fellowship. The
group is very warm and welcome and invites
all newcomers to meet and worship with them.
Activities that the group does throughout the
school year include: a trip to Rising City for a weekend to spread the word of the Lord,
visits to local nursing homes, movie nights
and weekend pot lucks, just to name a few.
Their biggest activity this year was their Spring
Break Travel Team where they as a group
knocked on doors, visited churches and care
centers to spread the gospel.

Sigma Tau Delta (STD) is a national
collegiate honors society for students
studying English. Other than putting more
focus on their English studies, STD is the
host at the events and activities of the
Banned Books Week event, the spring
and fall book drives, and Potpourri,
Concordia’s annual student writing
publication. During the Banned Book Week
STD members went about their daily activities
dressed up as characters from various
banned books. That very evening, a speed
book review told the audiences about ideas
and philosophies restricted over the years.
Potpourri encourages students to submit
up to four works of poetry, a short story,
and one piece of creative non-fiction
for a chance to get their work published
throughout the campus. Each work is judged
anonymously by professors, Sigma Tau Delta
members, and select students.
The current president of STD, Rachel Boylan,
said, “You don’t even have to be a member to participate; you just have to have a passion for English and show up!”

On the Tuesday of Holy Week, pre-sem
students, student worship committee and other volunteers set up and led students
and community members to the Way of the
Cross. The crowd met in Weller and followed
Jesus (played by Tyler Walworth) through
his journey of Holy Week. The audience was
led to various areas on campus to watch
certain events take place. The crowd was
asked to participate and act as though they
were actually following Jesus. The night’s
events ended at the outdoor chapel where
the crowd followed Jesus to his crucifixion.
The crowd sat and reflected while the song,
Were You There was sung. Way of the Cross
was an excellent time to reflect upon the true
meaning of Easter.

Restoring Awareness Culturally and
Ethnically, also known as RACE, is a growing
group on campus that promotes diversity
awareness, intercultural communication
and understanding through cultural
education. The members of RACE provide
an environment that welcomes questions,
struggles, challenges and differing viewpoints
and experiences without judgment.
This year they hosted several events such as
a speaker for Black History Month. They also
paired up with Unfading Beauty for the month
of March to celebrate contributions that
women have made to Concordia’s campus.
The first event celebrated female students
on campus, and the second event celebrated
the history of women’s athletics on campus.

The Student Activities Council hosted several
events such as free movie nights, costume
bowl as well as a dance each semester.
According to SAC members, free movie
nights are one of the most popular events,
and this one was no exception. SAC rented
the Rivoli theater for the evening to show
“Despicable Me,” an animated children’s
movie as well as “TRON.”
In October friends got together and formed
groups to participate in Concordia’s
Costume Bowl. SAC organized this event
and presented prizes for the most creative
costumes. This year’s winners were the
stunning girls that dressed up as each month
of the year. These calendar girls brought
home the prize title for the competition. The
costumes and excitement of the night only
goes to show how much fun the students
of Concordia can have in competition and
creativity.
