Bluffton Beavers Mourn Loss of Students

Today, Bluffton University lost 4 students, their families lost sons and brothers, we lost friends, teammates and best friends. We lost poeple we have worked with, gone to class with, eaten Marbeck food with and many more are wounded and in need of support. Bluffton is so small that you would be hard pressed to find a student who was not affected by this tragedy. Please remember during this time what it means to be a Bluffton University Alumni, remember dorm hours which you didn’t agree with, taking a gen ed for reasons you couldn’t fathom, remember watching SNL in the dorm lobbies before cable came to our rooms. Remember the people you met your first day, don’t forget the bonds you formed so quickly with your new friends, quickly piling into a car to head to the “J” or the “Main St.”. Bluffton was and still is a special part of all our lives, college is so much about the people you spend 4 years with, that your thoughts on educational policies and administrative rules don’t really stop you from loving Bluffton. Even if you left with a bitter taste for whatever reason, remember today that you were and are a Beaver. Please keep the families and players in your thoughts and prayers, open your arms to them if you have a chance to help them. I know this sounds so cliche but really take time to appreciate those around you, the people you surround yourself with everyday, life is so short, and you can’t tell what tommorow can bring.
