Feel free to contact the following directly with questions and comments about Bluffton University. The storms which came through Friday night, June 29, knocked some trees down and left much of campus without power, however there was relatively little structural damage.

When power is restored, you may phone the university main switchboard at 419-358-3000 or 800-488-3257.
