Bluffton University

Bluffton University students showcased the research, pre-professional and creative endeavors they completed from spring 2021 through spring 2022 during the Bluffton University Research Symposium. The April 21 event included presentations from 19 students.

“It was interesting to see everyone come together,” said Evie Masters ’24, a psychology and social work double major from Arcadia, Ohio. “It was a collaborative effort to explore the different majors at Bluffton and the different classes and learn about what everyone is studying.”

Coach Dan Hughes describes his time as a student-athlete at Muskingum University as a “very non-descript, average college career.” However, his time at the small, private, liberal arts college in Ohio prepared him for the “life after.”

“It’s not what I did in those four years of college, it was the way those people empowered me to enter life and navigate the world,” said Hughes, who recently retired after a 20-plus-year career coaching in the WNBA. “I’m thankful for so many people who challenged me to step into the next stage of life and have my equipment ready.”
