A pair of Bluffton University women's basketball players were recently lauded for their accomplishments on the floor this season. Senior Kim Miller (Delphos/St. John's) garnered her second consecutive first team All-Heartland Conference honor following a record-setting career with the Beavers. Also picking up post-season hardware for the Beavers was junior wing Brittany Stegmaier (Garfield/Trinity) who earned honorable mention All-HCAC for 2010-11.
Junior Mychal Hill (London/Jonathan Alder) was selected second team men's basketball All-Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference for the 2010-11 season. It marks Hill's second straight All-HCAC honor. He was a first team selection as a sophomore in 2009-10. Taking home his first All-HCAC award was sophomore Josh Fisher (Rockford/Parkway) who was named honorable mention.
The Bluffton University baseball team opened its 2011 campaign with an 8-4 victory over Case Reserve at the Chillicothe VA Memorial Field on a cool Saturday, February 26, 2011.
The Beavers used a six-run sixth to punish the Spartans in the opener. Wabash College took advantage of timely hitting and outstanding pitching to shut out Bluffton in the Beavers' second game of the season.
The Last Supper should be the focus of every meal we prepare and consume, according to the keynote speaker at a Bluffton University-hosted conference on ethical food production.
"Our meals should be framed around the supper of the lamb," said Ragan Sutterfield, speaking Feb. 19 at the Intercollegiate Peace Fellowship conference. His session on "The Supper of the Lamb: Learning to Eat at God's Table" was the last of three he addressed during the weekend event.
Katherine Goerzen has always loved youth and serving. In fact, her call to ministry came when she was still in high school.
"I was really active in youth group when my youth pastor asked me to lead worship," Goerzen said. "I found out later on he saw a drive for ministry in me."
Bluffton University sends students abroad every year to learn about diverse cultures. But the university rarely gets to thank the hosts for those cross-cultural experiences in person.
The opportunity arose this week, though, when two visitors from Botswana came to Bluffton to see for the first time the campus and community that sent groups of students to the African nation in 2007 and 2009, and will do so again this May.
