Courting rituals, scientific research topics of talks
Love the Photo—Don’t Like the Scent: Online Dating in the Age of Coffee Shops” will be Dr. Quentin Schultze’s subject for a Bluffton University Forum at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 3, in Yoder Recital Hall.
At the same time, Bluffton senior Tricia Latimer will discuss her research on cell-collagen interactions as part of the “First Tuesday at the Library” series in the Musselman Library Reading Room.
Both presentations are free and open to the public.
In the forum, Schultze, a professor emeritus of communication arts and sciences at Calvin College, will address how both high- and low-tech courting rituals can be navigated to form a rich personal life in an impersonal world.
Schultze retired from Calvin, in Grand Rapids, Mich., to form the Center for Servant Leadership Communication. He is the author of many books, including the just-published “An Essential Guide to Interpersonal Communication: Building Great Relationships with Faith, Skill and Virtue in the Age of Social Media.” He holds a Ph.D. from the Institute of Communications Research at the University of Illinois.
Latimer, the “First Tuesday at the Library” speaker, is a chemistry and physics major from Englewood, Ohio. She is among the Bluffton students who are sharing discoveries they have made through research or an internship during their presentations on the first Tuesday of the month.
