It's your first time on the Bluffton University campus. You are in Marbeck Center and can't find Founders Hall. What do you do? You ask the student working the Marbeck front desk.
What's it like directing traffic, answering questions, helping with the mail and answering the campus phone? Senior Abby Clark gives some insight on what happens behind the Marbeck front desk, and her work experiences at Bluffton.
Hannah Chappell-Dick remembers with clarity the first race she competed in. It was a half-mile race, which she thought meant she would run down the field and back. She laughed when she remembers learning it was actually a little further than that. Running at the front of the pack, her time was 3:58 and she placed sixth overall - boys and girls included.
