RICHMOND, Ind. - The Bluffton University men hit the road to face off against the Earlham College Quakers on Wednesday, Jan. 24. After a solid first half, the Beavers struggled to knock shots down in the second stanza as they fell to the Quakers, 76-63, to drop to 8-10 (5-6 HCAC) on the season.
Fourteen Bluffton University students will report on their 2017 cross-cultural experiences during two Forums on Tuesday, Feb. 6, in Yoder Recital Hall.
At 11 a.m., eight students who lived in Guatemala and studied at CASAS (Central American Study and Service), a program affiliated with the Guatemalan Mennonite Church, will present. During this experience, students took classes and lived with a host family in Guatemala City for the first half of the semester and finished the experience completing a five week volunteer field experience in various locations across the country.
Dr. Martina Cucchiara, associate professor of history at Bluffton University, will present the Colloquium, "Saving the Nation: War, Sex and Pious Women in Catholic Magazines for Girls and Women in Germany from 1885 to 1920,” at 4 p.m. on Feb. 2 in Stutzman Lecture Hall.
According to Cucchiara, during World War I, women’s increased mobility, employment and autonomy in the absence of men gave rise to widespread anxieties about the supposed sexual and moral transgressions of German girls and women.
For Andrew Renner, a Bluffton University math major with an adolescent/young adult education licensure, the saying like father like son applies to his college experience.
The sophomore basketball player from Cairo, shares not only an alma mater and future career path with his father, but also a coach. In his 29th season at Bluffton University, Guy Neal has coached both Andrew and his father, Christopher Renner ’94.
To a standing-room-only-crowd in Yoder Recital Hall, Rev. Daniel Hughes made a statement that nearly everyone has felt at some point in their life. “We can be extremely lonely in a place that is packed full of people.”
Hughes, a 2003 graduate and former faculty and staff member, returned to campus under a new title: Forum speaker. The pastor of the Price Hill campus of Shiloh United Methodist Church in Cincinnati shared a message of transformation through personal connection during the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Forum.
