Students to Share Highlights from Bluffton University Cross-Cultural Experiences

BLUFFTON, Ohio—Bluffton University students who participated in short-term cross-cultural experiences last spring will speak during Forum at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesday, October 4, in Yoder Recital Hall.

The presentations are free and open to the public.

Students who traveled to Czech Republic, the Southwest Native Nations, and Washington, D.C., will speak during the morning session while students who explored Guatemala, Kentucky, Korea and South Texas will present in the evening.

Cross-cultural experiences offer a journey of personal discovery into the richness and challenges of other cultures and communities. Immersed in new environments, participants experience diverse lifestyles, make new friendships and learn respect for other heritages all while meeting personal challenges that build character.

Students also get hands-on opportunities to focus on the issues of peace and reconciliation and begin toward a path of lifelong mission and service.
