Dark comedy plays a central role in Bluffton University’s fall play, “Arsenic and Old Lace” by Joseph Kesselring. The play centers around theatre critic Mortimer Brewster, whose charming and charitable aunts have an unusual ministry – helping lonely boarders to their heavenly rest by serving poisoned elderberry wine.
Dalton's Taynor's (Troy/Miami East) second goal of the match sent Bluffton to its first Heartland Conference win of the season when the sophomore found the back of the net in minute 107 for the 3-2 victory! The Beavers improved to 6-10 overall and 1-5 in the HCAC, while MSJ slipped to 3-13 and 1-5 in the conference.
The Bluffton University volleyball team traveled to Manchester University on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2019, for a matchup against the Spartans. The Beavers secured a three-set victory (25-20, 25-22, 25-18) over the home team. Bluffton improved to 6-20 (2-4 HCAC) while Manchester dropped to 10-13 (0-5 HCAC).
Dr. Amy Mullins, associate professor and director of graduate programs in education, will present the Colloquium "Crack the Code: Phonics Resources for Mature Students," at 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 25 in Centennial Hall’s Stutzman Lecture Hall.
During the presentation, Dr. Mullins will provide a brief review of the history of phonics instruction and discuss the need for phonics resources that are appealing to more mature students. Dr. Mullins will also explore an innovative phonics resource, Crack the Code, which she has created to assist more mature students in becoming readers.
Bluffton University’s Grace Albrecht Gallery will host the art exhibit “Anthrotopographies” by John Sabraw.
In “Anthrotopographies,” Sabraw unearths the topographies created from the extraction of natural resources to examine their paradox as being wondrous feats of human ingenuity and engineering, yet also emblematic of our consumption and hubris.
Opening Oct. 28, the exhibit is free and open to the public through Dec. 12. Gallery hours in the Sauder Visual Arts Center are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and 1-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
