✨ Meet Kendra Gardner, our new Administrative Assistant, Student Employee! 🎨🦁

We’re excited to welcome Kendra to the College of Arts & Humanities team! She’ll be the friendly face greeting students at the McCluer front desk, helping guide visitors, and supporting our CAH faculty and staff throughout the year. 💛📚

Kendra graduated from Jefferson City High School and is currently majoring in Graphic Design here at Lindenwood. Her passion for creativity started young and was inspired by her cousin, who also pursued Graphic Design, sparking Kendra’s dream of becoming a Brand Identity Designer.

Kendra is always creating big projects, small sketches, or anything that lets her explore art in all its forms. When she’s not designing, you’ll likely find her outdoors, painting, spending time with loved ones, or hanging out with her two amazing dogs. 🐾💛

She’s also a musician at heart, playing both piano and guitar for nearly ten years. 🎹🎸

Kendra shared that she’s “so happy to be here at Lindenwood and can’t wait to meet everybody,” and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her on our team.
Stop by McCluer Hall to say hello and welcome her to CAH! 🌿✨

Congratulations to two of our Cinema Arts faculty for presenting at the 2026 University Film & Video Association (UFVA) Conference in Minneapolis!

Senior Professor Ben Scholle delivered two sessions for film faculty from across the country, sharing his insights on teaching documentary production in the age of social media. He also screened his short documentary, “Continuing Education,” which highlights an English language class at the International Institute of St. Louis. 🎥✨

Associate Professor Andrew Millians also took the stage, presenting his talk, “Maybe I Don’t Want Your Notes: The Trials and Tribulations of Feedback in Screenwriting Coursework.” His session explored the art (and occasional chaos) of creative feedback, a reality every filmmaker knows all too well. 📝🔥

The UFVA is the preeminent academic organization dedicated to media production, writing, history, theory, and criticism, making these presentations an exciting spotlight for Lindenwood’s Cinema Arts program.

📚 Want to learn filmmaking from professors who are shaping national conversations in film education? Study Cinema Arts under the direction of Professors Scholle and Millians and gain hands on experience, industry insight, and the creative confidence to tell stories that matter. Your next project could be the one lighting up a festival screen. 🎞️🦁

We had the joy of welcoming this year’s freshman class as they stepped onto campus and officially began their Lindenwood journey. Meeting our new students, hearing about their interests, passions, and stories, and helping them get ready for the first day of classes reminded us exactly why we love what we do!

We cannot express how excited we are for the year ahead! The creativity, curiosity, and community these students bring is already inspiring us! Thank you to everyone who showed up to support our amazing Lions and help make their first day unforgettable.

A special shoutout to CFO Dom Chase for serving up CAH ton candy and bringing an extra dose of sweetness and Lion spirit to the day!
