In light of the governor’s order to “stay at home,” the increasing number of    COVID-19 cases in Ohio and our desire to keep the Bluffton village community safe, the administration at Bluffton University is asking the general public to not congregate in groups on campus grounds while social distancing is being mandated.

For example, we have been made aware that groups of young people are gathering to play pickup games of soccer and flag football on campus.

The Bluffton University Nature Preserve, campus paths and the track at Alumni Stadium are open, and we welcome community members to use these facilities to walk, run or explore while maintaining appropriate social distancing measures.
