The traditional banner signing followed a welcome from university President Dr. James Harder, who discussed his hopes for the incoming class.
Bluffton University student Emily Huxman, from Waterloo, Ontario, has won this year’s binational C. Henry Smith Oratorical Contest.
Her first-place effort earned Huxman, now a Bluffton junior, a $300 cash prize and a scholarship of up to $500 to attend a peace-related conference or seminar.
In the event, which is open to students in Mennonite and Brethren in Christ colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, participants present speeches that apply the Christian peace position to contemporary concerns.
Bluffton University is again going to work on vocation with the aid of a $10,000 grant administered by its Center for Career and Vocation (CCV).
More specifically, the university has received a $10,000 professional development award from the Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE). And the award will help fund a project, called Renewing Vocation through Innovation, Vision and Exploration (reVIVE), that organizers hope will lead to increased faculty and staff engagement about vocation.
