For 130 years, sports have been a meaningful part of life at our university, from community recreation to the intercollegiate student-athlete experience.   In this month’s 130-year anniversary reflection, we’re looking back on our athletic history. While official intercollegiate programs didn’t begin until more than 60 years into our story, starting with men’s basketball in 1959, our commitment to athletics has grown tremendously. Along the way, our student-athletes, coaches, staff, and fans have contributed to numerous conference and national achievements.   Here’s just a small glimpse into the history of our ever-growing intercollegiate athletic experience!

Flashback to campus in the ’90s! 📸 We’ve grown, and even had a name change or two, but what hasn’t changed is who we are: a tight-knit community centered on our students, rooted in Christ, right here in the heart of Eugene, Oregon.

Senior business administration major Isaac Wells is gaining hands-on experience in business operations through his spring internship with @stellalighting, a company specializing in lighting products and distribution.   During his internship as a warehouse technician, Isaac has taken on responsibilities ranging from organizing inventory and managing shipping documentation to helping unload and process large shipments, including 45-foot trailers. Through this work, he has been able to learn what it takes to keep a business running behind the scenes.   “This internship has really guided me into seeing behind the scenes of a small business,” Isaac said. His experience has broadened his career perspective and deepened his appreciation for the work that drives an organization forward.   Reflecting on his experience, Isaac encourages students to approach internships with intentionality and a willingness to fully engage. “They’re trying to prepare you for the real world,” he said, noting how tools like resume and cover letter development are already helping him in his job search.   Great work, Isaac! 👏 Read the full article at Bushnell.edu Watch the full video on our Bushnell University YouTube!

🧹 Spring cleaning season is here! We checked in on our Beacons before the break to see if they've followed through tidying up. How do we think these rooms are looking on scale of 1 to 10?

Enjoying some spring sun last week! ☀️ Wishing our Beacons a great Spring Break!
