Today we started our day at the "Dom" cathedral in Cologne, Germany. We had the rest of the day to explore the city, visiting shops, museums and even a chocolate factory along the Rhein River!

Today we took a relaxing cruise along the Rhein River to the city of Cologne, Germany. Along the journey we witnessed breathtaking views of the European countryside.

Our trip continues in France exploring the cities of Strasbourg and Colmar. We visited the marvelous Strasbourg Cathedral and spent time wandering in the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar. Thank you to Dr. Gerald Mast, for capturing some photos!

Bluffton alumni and friends spent the second day of the Europe trip sightseeing around the city of Berne. They took an afternoon visit to Trachselwald Castle before worshipping in the Alttäufergemeinde Emmental Church. They even got to see Swiss cows grazing in a pasture!

Bluffton alumni and friends are having such a lovely time exploring Mennonite history and traditions that lie within Europe. Day 1 was spent in one of Switzerland's largest cities, Zurich. Thanks to alumni Olivia Tennefoss '21 for capturing these photographs.

a new tradition: The Senior Toast. Glasses of sparkling grape juice were raised in honor of graduates as they transition from club members to engaged citizens, from athletes to community leaders, and from students to alumni!

[Dr. Jane Wood @BlufftonUPres]

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2022! They have a special place in my heart because we were all freshmen together and started at Bluffton in Fall 2018.

[Dr. Jane Wood @BlufftonUPres]

I am proud of the Bluffton University faculty members that were recently recognized at the annual Dean’s Reception, an academic year-end event honoring faculty who have been awarded grants, sabbaticals and other scholarly endeavors.

[Dr. Jane Wood @BlufftonUPres]

As part of this semester's Life Hacks Series, alumni from 2007-21 were invited back to campus to share "What The Wished They Knew in College." I so appreciate these alumni for taking time out of their evenings to come to campus and share with our students!

[Dr. Jane Wood @BlufftonUPres]

We were pleased to celebrate the academic achievements of our students during the first annual Dean's List reception!

[Dr. Jane Wood @BlufftonUPres]

I’m so pleased to see the successful outcomes of our partnerships. Dietetics students recently toured facilities in Lima and Van Wert owned by Corporate Partner Wannemacher Total Logistics/Wannemacher Enterprises. We are so thankful for the continued support of Greg Wannemacher.

[Dr. Jane Wood @BlufftonUPres]
