Sandra Vimbiso and Deborah Kadangs, Bluffton University students from Africa, are returning to their home countries this summer to explore connections between vocation and faith with $1,500 Summer Discovery Grants awarded through the university.
Season tickets are on sale for the 2011-12 Bluffton University Artist Series, featuring The Four Freshmen and The Ohio State University Flute Troupe, as well as the Chamber Orchestra Kremlin, the Pridonoff Piano Duo and juggler-comedian Mark Nizer.
All performances will be at 7:30 p.m. in Yoder Recital Hall, beginning Sept. 29 with The Four Freshmen.
One of the most important vocal groups in jazz history, The Four Freshmen pioneered a revolutionary style of close-harmony vocals that set the stage for bands like the Beach Boys and Manhattan Transfer.
First graders at Bluffton Elementary School became published authors this month when they wrote and illustrated their very own books.
First grade teachers, Annie Gill, Ryan Dunlap, Amber Huffman and Teri Steinmetz partnered with StudentPublishing.com to give each student a free paperback copy of their own story.
The students have been working since November on stories for their books. An author party was held May 23 so that students could celebrate their first books
