TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Bluffton University volleyball team made the long trip to Terre Haute, Ind. for its Heartland Conference opener with a talented Rose-Hulman squad on Saturday, Oct. 5. Bluffton found the 5 p.m. start time to its liking after a 25-15 setback in the lidlifter. The Beavers claimed three of the next four sets, including a 15-13 victory in the fifth for a crucial conference road win.

On the rough and undulating footing of the Elvin R. King cross country course at Cedarville University, the Bluffton University cross country teams faced unseasonably high temperatures and humidity while competing in the All-Ohio Championship meet.

This huge event saw 50 women's and 48 men's teams from all three NCAA divisions as well as NAIA schools compete simultaneously against each other.

Bluffton University will celebrate Homecoming Oct. 10-13, including a day filled with activities for alumni and the community on Saturday, Oct. 12.

Trethewey will read from her work—including the Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 collection “Native Guard”—during her presentation, titled “On Poetry and History.” The event is free and open to the public.

The Bluffton University volleyball team had visions of handing Coach Yarnell his first-ever victory over Heidelberg University when the Beavers traveled to Tiffin on Tuesday, Oct. 1.

A solid 25-18 showing in the lidlifter gave the visitors hope before Heidelberg returned to form and made quick work of Bluffton during the next three sets (25-18, 25-13, 25-17). Bluffton slipped to 8-12 on the season, while Heidelberg improved to 8-9 overall.

Bluffton University will host a fall concert featuring its Camerata Singers and Concert Band at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, in Yoder Recital Hall.

The concert is free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be taken for music scholarships during intermission.

Dr. Mark J. Suderman, professor of music, conducts Camerata Singers, a select, 25-voice chamber choir. Pianist Ana Yoder will accompany the chorus, which will present six numbers, including Mozart’s “Laudate Pueri” and a Virginia slave song, “Don’t Be Weary, Traveler.”
