Covenant welcomes its first rowing club in the spring 2026 semester. The group plans to start meeting regularly later in the semester and encourages everyone to attend their interest meeting on Thursday, February 26 at 7:00 p.m. in Mills 280.
Covenant is hosting the college’s first ever men’s self-defense class on Thursday, March 26, in Barnes. Previously, the college has sponsored a “ladies-only” self-defense class each semester but has not provided a parallel opportunity for men at Covenant.

I was standing in the middle of a chapel sanctuary at about 7:30 p.m., deep in the city of Quito, Ecuador with 35 other students from across the United States. We had just finished dinner, and we were about to have our first chapel gathering. We had never worshiped together as a group. I was excited to connect with the group over something, anything.

The image-generating, theater-of-the-mind chunk of my brain is unpracticed. I don’t have aphantasia; I’m not debilitated. But if you ask me to picture an apple it has fuzzy edges. If I close my eyes, it takes effort to visualize anything. As a result, I often read books without fully imagining the visual descriptions.
Sk80s. Valentine’s Day. Hall dates. Movie nights. Work. Bible study. And to top it all off, you’ve got a test tomorrow.
Spring always tends to feel frantic on campus, but this year seems to be busier than past. Between hall, building and all-campus events, students are finding every single weekend full. Things can pile up seemingly overnight, often occurring at the same time or in rapid succession. Although these parties and get-togethers are a blast, many students are complaining of burnout and lack of time for homework far earlier in the school year than usual.
Valentine’s Day is the day in the year where you grab a friend, rewatch a rom-com, bake some brownies, and think some once-a-year thoughts. You are very aware of your singleness but not as aware as you will be, for tomorrow, February 15, brings Singleness Awareness Day (literally S.A.D.). They didn’t think you felt single enough yesterday, the day for relationships, so they gave you one more try to really delve into those emotions. Get up, grab another friend, and rewatch that rom-com one more time.

While the transfer portal for college football—and all collegiate sports—was previously reduced to one window last fall, it did not make the management of the portal any less chaotic. If anything, it pumped up the stress for many coaches in Division I programs, mainly because the window is now incredibly short, spanning from January 2 through January 16. The transfer portal rules are much, much different than a couple of years ago, as players now have free reign to transfer each academic year to another school without penalty.
Recently I had the privilege of attending the 2026 National Championship with Professor Michaela Kourmoulis, Dr. Matt Vos, and 11 fellow Covenant students. This trip was an unforgettable experience, giving us a small but helpful insight into the necessary duties of hosting a massive event.
On Sunday, February 1, 2015, the Seattle Seahawks, down 24-28, lined up on the one yard line on the New England Patriots’ side of the field in Super Bowl XLIX.

Life on the mountain can be an isolating experience. While we all love our fellow Covenant students, being on constant lookout for the people you know (and are therefore obligated to greet) as you are on your way to literally anything can get tiring. Though getting off the mountain takes slightly more effort than stumbling to the Blink, sitting in a coffee shop where nobody knows you is a truly sanity-restoring experience.
