LWU Career Week provides students valuable insights, advice by Duane Bonifer If a single theme emerged from Lindsey Wilson University's 2026 Career Week, it was that there is no single or direct path to a career or finding a calling. That was what Lindsey Wilson students heard during the five-day event sponsored by the LWU Alumni Office and Career Services Center. From October 26-30, 2026, on morning panels held in the Normal and Glen Hodge Center for Discipleship, two dozen LWU alumni and area professionals shared their career journeys with students and offered advice on starting a career as well as how to advance it. The week also included a career, graduate and professional school fair. Members of the five panels focussed on a wide variety of career paths that reflected panelists' broad experiences and professional accomplishments, including: corporate leadership, commerce and industry; health wellness and scientific discovery; human services, mental health and social justice; education, instruction and coaching; and media, culture and creative arts.

Off to the sheds...What's in the mind of Racehorse? By Pam Capozziello After watching all the Breeders Cup races recently, seeing how quickly both Sovereignty and Knightsbridge were led off their barn property and loaded up on a trailer and brought to their new home at Jonabell Farm in Lexington, I wondered what is in the horses' mind when they are led off that trailer and brought to a new barn and new stall. All new people around them, no familiar grooms or trainers, no practicing on a racetrack anymore. If only they could speak! What would they say? Would they say thank you? Would they say 'bring me back home?' They are not bred for endurance anymore and the breeding process makes millions of dollars. Horses are extremely smart and intuitive in their daily life. They must certainly know their lives are changed! I wish both horses a long happy and healthy life at their new home. They were brilliant to watch on the racetrack. 2026-11-02 10:05:11 | Comments | Printable version
