January 2018 5 COVER “I love being able to hear about what people want to do with [communications], and I love seeing how that plays out in their lives,” he said. Phipps has clearly left a strong impact on the students he’s instructed during his time at Cedarville. Kathryn Dougherty, a senior professional writing and in- formation design major at Cedarville, said Phipps gives abun- dantly to every student he comes in contact with. Dougherty said she will always be grateful for the pieces of practical wis- dom that he gave to her during her time in class with him. “Dr. Phipps is one of the most clever professors at Cedar- ville,” she said. “[He] is one who impacted me the most my freshman year when I took Communication Ethics with him.” Clara Costello, a junior strategic communication ma- jor, called Phipps one of the most down-to-earth and under- standing professors she’s ever met. “I can’t imagine my time in the communication depart- ment without the wisdom, wit, and grace of Dr. Phipps,” Costello said.
