Tell us about Bluffton’s faculty, staff, and coaches. Are they helping you reach your goals?
All of the faculty here make the connections feel so close due to the faculty to student ratio which make my feel like I am achieving my dreams.
What student organizations are you part of? Why is it important for you to be active on campus?
