"Looking back, looking forward" was the focus of the Nov. 11-13 fall meeting of the Bluffton University Board of Trustees, which accepted the final report of the university's 2006-10 strategic plan and began discussion of the next generation of the university's strategic plan and long-term vision during a daylong planning workshop that preceded the regular meetings.
"The board's focused review and planning activities provided an opportunity to gain some larger perspectives on the university," Bluffton president Dr. James M. Harder observed.

After 10 years of work in various positions at McDonald's, he realized he had "ketchup in my veins," and the Bluffton, Ohio, resident hasn't looked back since.
