   On Monday, Oct. 14, students from across the Lee University campus will come together at 8 p.m. in the Paul Dana Walker Arena to compete in Lee’s 27th annual Dorm Wars.
   
   Dorm Wars will bring over 1500 students and guests to Walker Arena to witness fierce competition between various residence hall representatives. Lee’s Residential Life and Housing designs the event to test energy, skills, strategy, and speed in order to determine who will win, all while raising money for worthy organizations.
   
   “We are incredibly excited about Dorm Wars 2019. Our residence halls have been preparing for weeks and will be revealing some awesome themes on Monday,” said Katie Rutkowski, event organizer and area coordinator for Residential Life and Housing. “Being able to host Dorm Wars every year is so much fun because it brings our students from across campus together, invites faculty to join in as dorm sponsors, and meets needs for our broader Cleveland community.”
   
   The competition will pit teams of residence hall representatives against one another in a series of obstacle courses, shopping cart relay races, and a mystery event, all while raising money for nonprofit organizations benefiting the local community. Other Lee staff members will be involved as officials and scorekeepers.
   
   

   

   
   “This year the mystery event will require strategy, not necessarily speed,” said Rukowski.
   
   Along with these events, residence hall teams are scored on the opening intro routine, which each team choreographs and performs at the beginning of the event.
   
   Each faculty sponsor and resident director will also represent their chosen dorm as they collectively participate in the obstacle course to show their team spirit.
   
   At the end of the night, residents from one traditional female dorm, one upperclassman female dorm, and one male dorm will walk away with the coveted title of “Dorm Wars Champion.”
   
   This year’s residence hall partnerships will benefit Bridge Refugee Services, Backyard Ministries, Boys & Girls Club, The Caring Place, Foundation House Ministries, Girls on the Run, Men and Women of Action, New Hope Pregnancy Care Center, Project Free to Fly, Street Grace, and Willow Bend Farms.
   
   Over $2,000 has been raised so far for these organizations by Dorm Wars community sponsors, Bobby Ludwig, Brooks Screen Printing, Carroll Printing, Edward Jones, and Inman Street Coffee, along with Lee Athletics.
   
   Admission is free and open to the public. The event will also be available for live stream viewing.
   
   For more information, contact Rutkowski.

   Twelve anthropology majors at Lee University were recently inducted into Lambda Alpha National Anthropology Honor Society. Established in 1968, the purpose of the honor society is to acknowledge and reward academic excellence.
   
   “The large number of our anthropology majors who are members of Lambda Alpha is a reflection of our students’ overall excellent academic performance both in the classroom and in research activities,” said Dr. Richard Jones, coordinator of the anthropology program. “We are pleased that so many of our students are eligible for membership.”
   
   The name Lambda Alpha is composed of the initial letters of the Greek words logos and anthropos (Λογος and Ανθροποσ), meaning the study of humankind. Lambda Alpha supports scholarship and research by acknowledging and honoring superior achievement for students in the discipline of anthropology through membership in the society and through the annual awarding of student scholarships, research grants, and student paper prizes.
   
   This year’s inductees include Lincoln Beavers, Veronica Boss, Mara Busch, Danae Chaplin, Will Cody, Desiree LaPeer, Jay Leggett, Gina Merson, Emma Moe-Lunger, Natalie Schutz, Bryanna Young, and Colm Wykoff
   
   Anthropology majors at Lee are required to complete at least one course in archaeological, biological, cultural, and linguistic anthropology. Area studies courses are offered in China, Inner Asia, Latin America, Middle East, and Southwest Native Americans.

   Summary:

   Lee senior Jared Herzog earned a spot on NBC’s reality show, The Voice.

   Lee University senior Jared Herzog earned a spot on NBC’s reality show, The Voice, during its airing on Monday, Oct. 7.
   
   Herzog impressed The Voice judges during the “blind auditions” with his performance of “Speechless” by Dan and Shay, an American country music duo. Three of the judges “turned their chair” for Herzog, meaning they wanted him on their team. Herzog ultimately chose “Team Legend” by joining judge John Legend’s team.
   
   “You showed a lot of range and versatility,” Legend told Herzog. “You take the whole audience on a journey, and that’s what this performance is all about.”
   
   Herzog is a senior music business major at Lee. He also leads music in chapel as part of the LeeU Worship band and is captain of Lee’s cross country team.
   
   Additionally, Herzog helped establish a ministry originally on Lee’s campus called, “The Well,” (renamed “The Gathering”) as a leader of the worship team.
   
   “This has truly been one of the greatest experiences of my life,” said Herzog. “Not only have I been able to work with world class musicians and artists, but I have established genuine friendships with the other contestants. I am blessed beyond belief to have received the support I have from them, my friends and family, my hometown and Lee University communities. God is faithful, and God is good."
   
   Now that he made it through the “blind auditions,” Herzog’s next appearance on The Voice will be during the “Battle Rounds,” where he will be paired with another singer for a duet to see which of them can sing an assigned song the best.
   
   Herzog is not the first singer from Lee to make it onto “The Voice.” Others include Season 9 winner Jordan Smith and Brooke Simpson, who placed third in Season 13.

   The Voice airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. on NBC.
