Participants in the fourth annual Giving Tuesday—a global initiative to encourage charitable giving amid holiday consumerism—can, for the second year, direct their generosity to Bluffton University on Tuesday, Dec. 1.
BLUFFTON, Ohio - The awards continue to roll in for senior Jenny Brown (St. Marys/Memorial) who was named Honorable Mention All-America by the American Volleyball Coaches Association following Bluffton's third straight NCAA Regional appearance. She is the first Bluffton volleyball player to earn All-America status after her First Team All-Great Lakes Region recognition less than a week ago.
In the repressive Soviet Union of the 1980s, dissident Aleksandr Kalugin kept his art under cover in a grand piano—“hidden in plain sight,” as Olwen Pritchard put it Nov. 12 at Bluffton University.
But Pritchard and her husband, Dr. James Satterwhite, a Bluffton professor, acquired five etchings from Kalugin and eventually brought them back to Bluffton, where they are now on permanent display in the university’s Musselman Library.
BLUFFTON, Ohio - Bluffton University senior defensive end Ryan Aelker (New Bavaria/Holgate) helped the Beavers claim a 35-14 win at rival Defiance College on Saturday and has been named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Football Player of the Week on defense for the second time this season. He was also honored following his performance in Bluffton's 38-26 win over Baldwin-Wallace on September 12.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - The Bluffton University harriers ventured west to the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind. for the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Cross Country Championship meet. With both the men’s and women’s team being dominated by freshmen and sophomores, it was not a day to see high team placings. It was rather a day to see young runners vastly improve their times since the team raced on this same course at the pre-regional meet in late September.
