Bluffton resident Inara Brubaker was awarded an honorary degree from Ohio Northern University, Ada, during the ONU commencement on May 8.
Brubaker retired in 2002 from the UOP/AlliedSignal (now Honeywell International) Research Center.
From 1996-2002, Brubaker was a senior research associate with UOP; from 1988 to 1996, she was project leader and research manager at AlliedSignal.
Her work was in applied research in analytical chemistry and separations, ranging from feed to effluent treatment and purification, and in materials properties and recycling.
The Bluffton Athletic Boosters just completed their 17th year of the annual Reverse Raffle.
We would like to thank the community for all the support given to this event. Many individuals and businesses helped through donations and volunteering their time to make the evening a success.
We look forward to seeing everyone at next year's raffle. Your continued support of our student-athletes is greatly appreciated.
