At one time, numbers scared him, admits Murli Buluswar, who struggled with math in the regimented learning environment of junior high and high school.
But he overcame that fear “one brick at a time,” he said Feb. 5 at Bluffton University, en route to a bachelor’s degree in economics from Bluffton, a master’s degree in economics and statistics from Auburn University and now, the position of chief science officer for AIG Property Casualty.
The Bluffton University men's and women's track and field teams traveled to the campus of Ohio Northern this weekend to compete in the Joe Banks Invitational. Among the competing teams were conference opponents Defiance and the Rose Hulman Institute of Technology.
With the Heartland Conference championships just two weeks away, the Beavers are continuing to improve throughout the season with an abundance of personal bests.
The Bluffton University women’s basketball team fell to Anderson University on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013. The Beavers dropped to 10-11 overall and 5-9 in the Heartland Conference, while Anderson improved to 6-15 overall and 5-9 in the HCAC.
The Bluffton loss, which was a mirror reversal of the contest in the Sommer Center three weeks ago, damaged the Beavers' chances of earning a berth in the Heartland Conference as Rose-Hulman upset HCAC-leading Transylvania for a two-game lead with just four to play.
The Bluffton University men’s basketball team fell victim to an Anderson University team that welcomed back HCAC-leading scorer Phil Hogan after missing the last month with a hand injury. Hogan missed 13 of his 17 shot attempts, but hit one that mattered, the game-winner as the buzzer sounded.
Although he was not in the starting lineup, Hogan played 37 of 40 minutes and handed out a game-high eight assists. The Beavers fell to 9-12 overall and 5-9 in the Heartland Conference, while Anderson improved to 9-12 and 5-9 in the HCAC.
