And Bluffton freshman named freshman athlete of the year
Bluffton University’s Trey Everett (Fairlawn) has been named the 2015 Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Indoor Track Athlete of the Year and Field Athlete of the Year.
Several Bluffton University students heard stories of nonviolence from an unlikely felon and explored peacemaking methods to build a bridge between faiths at this year’s Intercollegiate Peace Fellowship Conference.
Held at Hesston (Kan.) College from Feb. 13-15, the conference focused on “Overcoming Evil: Ordinary People Making a Difference.” It featured seminars discussing ways to overcome evil with good by following Jesus’ example of peace, as well as a keynote lecture by the Rev. John Dear, a peace advocate and Nobel Prize nominee.
