Members of the Bluffton University women’s soccer team were able to bond off the field during Party on the Lawn. Students enjoyed a photo booth, ate snow cones and played games including corn hole and giant Jenga. This event was part of the 60 in 6 plan coordinated by the Office of Student Involvement. The initiative seeks to provide at least 60 campus events in the first six weeks of the academic year.

• Lawn Avenue is called Mill Street
• There's no bridge over Riley Creek at Jefferson Street
There's lots more and we'll let you discover it by examining the map.
