History

Known as the year’s can’t-miss student event, Elliv brings music, skits, and videos together for an unforgettable night full of hilarity and outstanding performances showcasing Cedarville’s talent.

Elliv first burst onto Cedarville’s campus in spring of 2000. A few SGA members put the event together to highlight student filmmakers in an Academy Awards style show. With only a few unpolished acts and a small budget, the first Elliv was simple but entertaining.

After a year off, Elliv returned in 2002 larger than before featuring more elaborate acts. The mock awards show of the first Elliv was replaced with awards recognizing Cedarville’s brightest talents. Since then, Elliv has continued to recognize these students while presenting bigger and better show-stopping acts every year.

This year, we’re celebrating a decade of Elliv red carpet style. We’re looking back at a year full of achievements and remembering the events that are quintessentially Cedarville. A program inspired by popular culture and events from the past year, Elliv 2010 will bring you recognizable songs and skits to thrill you from start to finish.

With incredible staging, lighting, and special effects, Elliv 2010 will combine the best performances with the best production Cedarville offers. We guarantee a night full of fun and amazing performances you won’t soon forget.

Garrett Rucinski - Garrett can often be found with a guitar slung over his back and singing a song when no one is around to listen. An aspiring recording artist, Garrett performs at local gigs and in the recording studio, and plays the guitar and sings in the Garrett Bryan Band. The singer/songwriter helped with Gathering as One, the worship time for local ministries.

Brian Johnson - Brian won Cedarville over when he sang as a freshman last year with the band The Rescue in the New Student Talent Show.

His favorite place to sing is anywhere OneVoice performs.

Matthew Scheerschmidt - If you missed him as Mr. DePinna in You Can't Take it With You, you might have seen him in Much Ado about Nothing or My Fair Lady.

Outstanding Organization or Class Sponsored Event

Soup for the Soul (sponsored by Women of Vision) - Women of Vision took Cedarville students’ craving for homemade food and brought Soup for the Soul on March 11. Guest speakers discussed the worldwide poverty of women and children. The event raised money and awareness for World Vision’s Borders Project.

10K (race-sponsored by International Justice Mission) - Few people envision themselves ever waking up at 8:00 on a Saturday morning to run a 10K. But the International Justice Mission brought nearly 600 people together March 27 to run the 6.2 mile course in Massey Creek Park. The 10K raised over $20,000 for Gracehaven, a local safe house in Columbus.

Clue (sponsored by sophomore class) - The sophomore class transformed the BTS on Halloween to create one of the most memorable events of the year. The fun-filled night of characters, deception, and prizes left players eagerly awaiting a new game next year.

Joanna Pyles - Whether she’s checking out that Cedarville mug you bought for your mom’s birthday or relieving the shock when you see the bill for your textbooks, Joanna is ready to assist in any book-related needs. Her favorite time of year in the bookstore is the first week of the semester when all the students are buying their books.

Devin Babcock - We all remember the friendly admissions workers when we visited Cedarville our senior year of high school. Devin makes the college search process a little easier. A three-year veteran admissions worker, Devin’s favorite part of the job is helping people learn about Cedarville who know nothing about it.
