Stephanie Jankov won’t soon forget the faces she saw in Peru the week of Sept. 9.
They were the faces of many of the 1,802 children—from toddlers to teenagers, in daycare and schools—who received new shoes from a group, including Jankov, on a “giving trip” for TOMS Shoes. For every purchased pair of its shoes, the Santa Monica, Calif.-based company gives one free pair to a needy child in nearly 60 countries worldwide.

The Bluffton University men made the trip to Oberlin College for a special appearance under the lights on Monday, Sept. 23. The result did not favor the Beavers as the home team would pour it on (7-0) behind two goals apiece from Joe Graybeal and John Ingham.
Bluffton University will host an exhibition of ceramic sculpture by award-winning 1956 graduate Jack Earl, beginning Sept. 30 in the Grace Albrecht Gallery of the Sauder Visual Arts Center.
