SEPT 12 MEDIA RELEASE__Bluffton students, faculty and staff gathered for a recent forum led by Bethny Ricks ‘06, Bluffton University Trustee, executive consultant and author of Face Forward, who spoke on the topic of decisive decision making, a skill she describes as essential both personally and professionally.
“This topic is really important to me,” she began. “So important that when people ask me one of the skills that I focus on with my children, I say, well the litmus test for whether or not I am a good parent is whether or not they become decisive decision makers.”
This colorful September 2025 flowerbed at Bluffton University's Houshower House is abuzz with moths, bees and other flying friends, who are sipping at a lush supply of nectar.
