For a quarter century, Bluffton University professors J. Denny Weaver and Gerald Mast have been writing, researching and collaborating on projects exploring the Anabaptist peace church tradition.

As Mast recalls, the partnership was established when he came to campus for the interview process in the spring of 1995. During an informal reception after the interview, Weaver handed him an essay and requested feedback.

Covid 19: Adjusting from an athletics standpoint

Chad Shutler, university women's basketball coach: “I can’t imagine how we would have navigated something of this magnitude 20 years ago.”

In the late 1920s, long-time coach and athletic director A.C. Burcky suggested the beaver as Bluffton’s mascot.
