Academic scholarship by Bluffton University faculty members was recognized at the annual year-end Dean’s Reception. “We know that this important scholarly work enriches your teaching and the university,” said Dr. Alex Sider, interim vice president of academic affairs.

Faculty research is promoted through financial grants and by course release time which relieves faculty of teaching responsibilities to provide time for research or creative endeavors.

Dr. Steve Harnish, professor of mathematics, will develop computational simulations for use in research labs seeking to address the evolving climate crisis. This project will build on his past research to expand career opportunities for Bluffton mathematics and natural sciences students.

Betty, whose nephew Jeremy Szabo lives in Bluffton, was an eye-witness to the war-criminal trial of Japanese General Yamashita at Manila. She wrote about her experience in a letter to her parents Forrest and Joyce Steinman, which was published on the front page of The Bluffton News in late November 1945.
