Dr. Deborah Myers, an associate professor and director of Bluffton University's dietetics program, will provide a "Prelude to a New Program: The Bluffton Dietetic Internship" at 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 10, in Stutzman Lecture Hall in Centennial Hall.

Deborah Horst, former executive director of Camp Luz, a Mennonite camp near Orrville, Ohio, will be the speaker at Bluffton University's Spiritual Life Week Forum at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 14, in Yoder Recital Hall.
Free and open to the public, Horst's talk is titled "Four Dimensions of Love." In this case, the title refers to worship, she says, explaining that worship "creates meaning across all dimensions of our lives. Love and worship go together, and together they are 'dangerous' because they require and invoke change in every one of us."
