Note: After being shelved far too long, the Icon brings back our "15 minute" interviews. This features a recent conversation with Sophie Marcum. We've invited Sophie to provide some additional interviews with some of her classmates. Watch for them.
Bluffton University will add to its list of more than 85 academic programs this fall semester by offering two new majors: teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) and pre-art therapy.
TESOL, which has been available at Bluffton as a minor for roughly two decades, will have an expanded curriculum—including courses in language, education and the social sciences—for students to fulfill the new major.
Don't distract me, I'm reading. That's one scenerio for this photo of three members of the Toddler's Class at Bluffton Child Development Center. The Icon dropped in the BCDC during play time and snapped this photo.
In November 2015, the Bluffton Senior Center will have been in operation for 45 years. In honor of the upcoming anniversary, the window at the Senior Center has been decorated with items familiar to senior citizens when the center opened in 1970. Keith and Shirley Sommer have collected various items such as a record player, a rotary phone and a vintage hair dryer. The Bluffton High School art department has provided a sign that says “45 years and counting." All are invited to view the window decorations.
