Since our beginning 125 years ago, Bluffton University students have been encouraged to take on leadership roles and explore new opportunities.
This year for national Day of Giving, it is our goal to continue supporting personal growth and development through the Great Adventure, a component of Bluffton Blueprint for first-year students. As part of the Great Adventure, first-year students travel to the Great Smoky Mountains to answer life's biggest question "Who Am I?"
More than 90 percent of first-year students say the Great Adventure helped them:
- Reflect on their personal and vocational direction
- Reflect on their calling in contributing to the care of God’s creation
- Solidified their place as a member of the Bluffton University community
The Great Adventure is making a difference in the first-year experience of Bluffton students! And what is more impressive, is that the Great Adventure is fully funded by donors. Students do not have an extra cost for this transformative experience. The Great Adventure is also a distinctive program that helps recruit new students to campus. Will you make a gift today to make the Great Adventure possible for the next first-year class?
We are all so grateful for your support in the past to invest in the lives of Bluffton students and future alumni. In honor of our 125th anniversary, we invite you to help us reach our goal of $125,000 from now, until Day of Giving on Tuesday, Dec. 3, to help fund next year's Great Adventure!
