University alumnus to talk about life-changing experience
Joel Wildermuth, a community and family outreach services associate at the Delaware County Library, will speak during a Bluffton University Alumni Forum at 11 a.m. on Oct. 16 in Yoder Recital Hall. The title of his presentation is “Beyond the Riley: Why Faith, Travel and Stories Matter.”
