Happy Wednesday and Happy Veterans Day, Greyhounds!

I want to thank all those who have served or are currently serving in the military.

We’re just only two weeks from Thanksgiving and the end of the semester. Do yourself a favor and take a break and check out some of these stories, and our latest issue, during your break times.

UIndy prepares to transition from ACE to Brightspace LMS

Students and faculty at the University of Indianapolis have been using ACE as their Learning Management System for several years. ACE is especially valuable during the COVID-19 pandemic, as most campus classes are being held virtually.

According to Special Assistant to the Provost and Executive Director for the Center for Aging & Community Ellen Miller, there are four classes that are currently piloting a new LMS known as Brightspace. Brightspace was purchased last fiscal year after years of discussing the movement to a new LMS.

Veterans share their stories for Veterans Day

They’re not just members of the UIndy community, but they have also served their country.

Two veterans tell their stories in honor of Veterans Day.

UIndy Men’s Basketball ready for new season

It was a heartbreaking end to the season for the University of Indianapolis Men’s Basketball team last spring when they found out about the cancellation of athletics due to COVID-19.

Since then, the program has endured losing four of its starters due to graduation and transferring, an entirely new coaching staff, and a slew of new recruits.

OPINION: Second semester break days do not give students breaks

By Hallie Gallinat | Staff Writer

University of Indianapolis students have not received a day off since the semester started, which is quite a long time. In contrast to this current semester, UIndy has added break days to the 2021 spring semester, according to the academic calendar.

However, these break days seem random and are not giving students, faculty and staff the proper days off they deserve.

Music students navigate changes to performing and recitals due to COVID-19

Music recitals at the University of Indianapolis this year will be live streamed from the stage at Ruth Lilly Performance Hall, or students can film their recital at home and submit it online.

This was a new decision that has to be made for the many students in the Department of Music, who have to perform recitals as part of their majors’ requirements.
