Seven Bluffton University students spent the weekend of Jan. 31-Feb. 2 exploring practical ways to give voice to the voiceless.
Mary Schrag, Jacey Dehogues and Robin Adams attended the Intercollegiate Peace Fellowship conference—held this year at Eastern Mennonite University—along with fellow Bluffton students Kerry Bush, Matthew McCoy, Eliot Nofziger and Joe Schaer.
The annual peacebuilding conference addresses conflict worldwide and encourages attendees to adopt nonviolent conflict resolution methods.
In wintry weather that continues to be far more suitable for Polar Bears than for Beavers, the Bluffton University men’s and women’s track and field team traveled to Ohio Northern University on Saturday, Feb. 8, to compete in the Joe Banks Invitational. It was another day of school records and personal bests for the Beavers.

The site features blog articles; videos of Bluffton adult students, faculty and staff; and information about the university’s undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Designed to be a resource for adult students looking to return to school while continuing to work, the site offers tips on work/life balance and career choices while also explaining Bluffton’s one-night-a-week programs.
