Bluffton University

American companies are discovering benefits to bringing some jobs back to the United States, according to Dr. George Lehman, chair of Bluffton University’s business studies division.

Lehman discussed factors that contribute to the appeal of “insourcing” in a global economy Jan. 10 in his annual lecture as the Raid Endowed Chair in business. The title honors the late Howard Raid, a Bluffton business professor from 1947-79.

Anabaptist martyrs and Africans enslaved in early America may not have much in common, but there is at least one similarity, two Hesston College faculty members stressed Jan. 14 at Bluffton University.

In a forum titled “Common Threads,” Hesston historian John Sharp emphasized that the two groups had a “shared experience of suffering,” which was endured “at the hand of legitimate authorities.”
