Position helps Rawson student connect at Bluffton University

Before coming to Bluffton University, Caroline Schutz ’21, a TESOL major from Rawson, had never held a job. Instead she focused on academics and athletics, but when she was offered a Learn and Earn position in the admissions office, she decided to enter the working world as a student employee.

“I definitely think working here has helped me establish accountability, team work and conflict management skills,” said Schutz. It’s given me a peek into the future and has shown me how connecting with people and building relationships can propel you forward.”

Several projects awarded

Several Bluffton University faculty members have received summer 2019 Bluffton University Research Center grants, which provide $2,000 and up to $300 for research-related expenses:

· Dr. Daniel Berger, professor of chemistry, for his project, “Toward Creative-Commons Organic Chemistry Textbooks,” where he will be updating and writing new material for chemistry textbooks to be used as educational resources that are free of charge.
