Record crowd for last LWU New Student Orientation of summer 'There's so much excitement and enthusiasm about being part of the first group of new students to attend Lindsey Wilson University.' By Duane Bonifer The final Lindsey Wilson University New Student Orientation is usually a rather uneventful campus event, often sparsely attended by students and family members who could not attend previous summer sessions. But if this summer's final New Student Orientation was any indication of the school year to follow, 2025-26 could be pretty electric on Lindsey Wilson Hill when fall classes begin on August 25, 2025. More than 100 students and their family members attended the final New Student Orientation, held Friday, August 8. That's a record crowd that was more than 67% larger than most previous New Student Orientation finales.

Other registration outpaces Rep/Dem for 5th straight month From Michon Lindstrom Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams announced this week that Kentuckians registering under "Other" political affiliations have led new voter registration for the fifth month in a row, with net new Others outpacing net new Republicans by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, as Democrats continue to lose voters. "We see more and more Kentuckians bucking the two-party system," said Adams. "This dynamic could make for an interesting 2026 election." In July, 6,186 voters were removed, including 4,958 deceased, 538 who had moved out of state, 502 convicted felons, 97 who had voluntarily de-registered, 59 adjudicated mentally incompetent, 18 duplicate registrations, and 14 identified as non-citizens. 2025-08-09 11:33:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics Birthdays and Anniversaries for August 9 Happy Anniversary, Dan and Marty Burris | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Harmon and Nancy Parnell (1955) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Todd and Felicia VanArsdale (1997) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Caleb Reed (2013) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chasity Murphy (1993) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chris Goodson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dawn Reliford (1990) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jerry Lee Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Landon Pennington (2012) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Linda Walker | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Marsha Bennett | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mason Adams | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Wilburn Cheatham | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Ann Russell, 75, Adair Co., KY Obituary | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Ann Wethington McFarland, 86, Campbellsville, KY (1935-2022) Obituary | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Anna C.
