‘Late Night with Student Life’ at Bluffton University

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 28, 2012 - 9:49pm

 

It was 11 a.m., not 11:30 p.m., but Nov. 27 at Bluffton University, it was, nonetheless, “Late Night with Student Life: Live from Founders Hall.”

The university’s weekly Forum became the setting for a talk show-like look at student life on campus through the decades.

Here, residence life director Jackie Wells (with papers) plays Catch Phrase, trying to elicit words and phrases associated with the 2000s from student partner Lawrence Ervin, a junior from Cincinnati.
