Lindsey Wilson University community welcomes Class of 2030 'One thing still brings us all together, and that's the fact that we are all Lindsey Wilson Blue Raiders.'

Helm and her mother, Olivia Jackson, were the first in line to check in at Biggers Sports Center before it opened at 9:30amCT on Saturday, August 22, 2026. Helm's father, Jeff Jackson, and her sister, Mallorie Helm, were the first to pull up to the university's Campus Quadrangle, which had been converted into a temporary unloading zone for residential students. Helm is among more than 500 new undergraduate students enrolled this year at Lindsey Wilson. Although residential students started to return to campus in early August, it felt like more than half of them checked in on Saturday as a fleet of cars, sport utility vehicles and trucks pulled into Columbia all morning long.

J. L. Blaydes, 76, Metcalfe County, KY John Lewis "J.L." Blaydes, age 76, passed away Friday, August 21, 2026, at T.J. Samson Community Hospital.
