Cross-cultural experiences enlighten Bluffton students

Posted by Fred Steiner on September 29, 2011 - 7:58am
Bluffton students spent time with children in south Texas during their cross-cultural experience in San Antonio.

From poverty and immigration to service and language, cross-cultural experiences from last spring left Bluffton University students with eye-opening memories.

Recounting some of them at two campus forums on Sept. 27 were nearly 20 of the 146 Bluffton students whose experiences took them in May and June either to Bolivia, Botswana, Chicago, China, France, Paraguay, San Antonio or Trinidad.

The group that went to San Antonio, and south to the Mexican border, had a "life-changing" experience, said Chalsi Eastman, a senior from Norwalk, Ohio.
