The Impact Of Clyde Meredith On Taylor University, Joshua D. Meredith

MAHE Student Scholarship

Rev. Dr. Clyde Meredith served as the twenty-first president of Taylor University. He left a legacy overshadowed by his relational fractures with historically iconic giants of the school. However, Meredith achieved many important successes during his time as president. The university initiated and completed a capital campaign to fund a new library (“Centennial advertisement,” 1945), started a football program (Ringenberg, 1996), boosted enrollment numbers (“Taylor university enrollment,” 1945), and achieved full academic accreditation (Ringenberg, 1996; “Newsletter to alumni,” 1951). Meredith’s presidency served as a catalyst and played a critical role in the formation of Taylor University as it is known …

Stories To The Remote Reader: Shaping Cultural Narratives In "Do Not Say We Have Nothing" And "Their Eyes Were Watching God", Hannah Perry

English Senior Capstone

The events of Do Not Say We Have Nothing by Madeleine Thien and Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston depict characters who, through subversive approaches to storytelling and meaning-making, refute the stereotypes attributed to them by oppressive sociopolitical systems. Whether the story extends through families and generations in China or simply from one friend to another on a porch in Eatonville, Florida, the story complicates listeners’ initial assumptions about individual and cultural mechanisms.

Wilderness, Kendra Smalley

English Senior Capstone

Wilderness is composed of one nonfiction piece and a collection of poems that use images of the wild, such as forests and the wind, to explore the interactions between humanity and nature. Within the poems is a progression from attempt at mastery over the natural world to humility in response to the untamable to acceptance of the wild places in life, including within one’s own self. Inspired by experiences grounded in the Midwest, these works celebrate nature while also revealing the tension between its simultaneous beauty and danger.

Hometrees And Roleplaying: How Instability Affects "The Catcher In The Rye's" Holden And "The Flick's" Avery In Their Pursuit Of Belonging, Caleb Hoelscher

English Senior Capstone

Avery, a socially anxious movie buff working on a theater cleanup crew, and Holden, a prep-school flunkout wandering the city of New York, are both emerging adults seeking a place to belong. They desire to connect with others based on shared commitment to a center of meaning. However, the instability and fakeness of their worlds and the people who inhabit them frustrate their pursuit, leading Holden and Avery to demonstrate similar patterns of behavior that further isolate them and diminish their sense of self. In addition, despite Holden’s disgust with movies, particularly ones he deems “phony,” both Holden and Avery …
