Current Parents

Welcome to the Lipscomb University Family!

Stacy Blackston

Stacy Blackston, Director of Parent Engagement

We are excited that your student is now a Bison and you are a Bison parent or family member. We look forward to getting to know you and partnering with you to ensure your student’s success throughout his or her Lipscomb experience. 

As a parent, you have a valuable role in the success of your student’s college experience. The Parent Program provides a way for you to continue being active in the development of your student. And as a parent of a Lipscomb student, you are automatically a member of the Lipscomb University Parents Program. The Parents Program is designed to provide opportunities for parents to interact with students, other parents and Lipscomb University as a whole. It also is a way for you to support your student’s university experience and to actively participate in the life of your student.

If you need to share something about your student, offer advice, make a suggestion for ways we can improve or simply request information, we’d love to hear from you. parents [at] lipscomb.edu (Email us).

Our daughter, Ellie, is a junior nursing major who has found her people and her place in this Bison Herd. She’s intentional in growing her faith, pursuing her academics and deepening her relationships—encouraged and strengthened through an incredible university community. We’ve seen firsthand how Lipscomb nurtures the whole person—mind, body and spirit. — Ron & Suellen Moen, Co-Chairs of Parent Leadership Council
