Bushnell University Brand bringing the music to @jazzstationeugene last week, one of the PNW’s premiere jazz venues! Thank you to all who came to hear some classic and contemporary jazz and gospel songs from our Beacons.

He is risen! Wishing our Bushnell community a very joyful Easter as we rejoice in Christ's resurrection and the salvation we have received. He is risen indeed!

On this Good Friday, we pause and remember the depth of Christ’s love shown on the cross. As we reflect on Christ’s sacrifice, may we be reminded of how powerful and wonderful is He as we await the joy of Easter morning.

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!

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!

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

We were incredibly grateful to welcome back Lisa Fields to campus this week for our Spring 2026 continuation of the Becoming Beloved Community series of events! As an author, film producer, and founder of the @jude3project , @lisavfields brought her voice and passion for Christian apologetics back to Bushnell after previously joining us for our first Becoming Beloved Community event in fall 2023 on racial reconciliation. Through several sessions, Lisa shared her insight into how to rebuild a fractured community through the lens of her upcoming book When Heroes Fall, addressing how to navigate situations in which trusted leaders fall. She also offered an encouraging charge to our students to pray for wisdom and rely on God as they prepare for their callings. We are very grateful for Lisa’s time with us on campus and for the insight and encouragement she shared as we continue to pursue a beloved community.
