Bluffton University to honor its student-athletes
Bluffton University will recognize its top student-athletes at the annual Athletics Awards Forum, at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 17, in Yoder Recital Hall.
Judson Laipply, a 1998 Bluffton graduate and creator of the viral video, "The Evolution of Dance," will be the guest speaker at the event, which is free and open to the public.
Three awards will be presented during the forum. The top senior male athlete will receive the A.C. Burcky Award, the top senior female athlete will receive the Kathryn E. Little Award and a non-athlete who supports Bluffton athletics will receive the Larry W. Jones Award.
