  • We wanted to take a moment to thank and celebrate Dr. Mick Bollenbaugh on his retirement after 29 years of service to Bushnell University. 

As a Professor of Philosophy and Biblical Studies, Dr. Bollenbaugh made lifelong impacts on multiple student populations, including traditional undergraduates, online and evening classrooms, and graduate students, as he challenged them to reach their full potential and become leaders in their field. In addition to his teaching role, Dr. Bollenbaugh's expertise in the field of education was highly valued by his colleagues, and he contributed significantly to the development of various educational programs at the university.

In a fun symbolic gesture, Dr. Bollenbaugh took some time on stage while encouraging our graduating seniors at this year's Baccalaureate to pass the baton of Most Tenured Professor to colleague and friend Dr. Heike McNeil, Professor of Chemistry and Former Cross Country & Track Coach.

Thank you, Dr. Bollenbaugh, for your incredible dedication and hard work at Bushnell University!

  • Today we wanted to thank Karen Head, our Public Services Supervisor, and congratulate her on her retirement earlier this month after 27 years of dedicated service at Bushnell.

Throughout her time at Bushnell, Ms. Head played an important role in shaping the university’s culture, making it a welcoming and inclusive place for students. Her passion for promoting reading and learning is evident in the Kendall Collection, a curated section of Children's books within the Kellenberger Library, and her organization of our Children Reading Program events for the local community. Ms. Head's lasting commitment to create a positive and supportive environment within the Kellenberger Library will be fondly remembered by students, staff, and faculty who interacted with her. 

Thank you for all of your hard work, Karen!
