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.

Congratulations to our Clinical Mental Health Counseling Chi Sigma Iota inductees! We look forward to seeing you pursue careers serving the counseling needs of your communities!

Nathan Griffiths gained hands-on technical experience through his fall internship with Brinoch, a company specializing in audio, video, and lighting system integration.   As a senior contemporary music industry major with an interest in live sound production, Nathan explored the setup and installation of PA (professional audio) systems by building equipment racks, soldering connections, and assisting with installation projects on job sites. His experience with Brinoch strengthened key technical skills while also teaching him the importance of preparation before installation.   For Nathan, his time with Brinoch emphasized the importance of seizing opportunities to step beyond campus and engage directly with professionals in the field. “I think it’s really great to get out of the Bushnell dome and go out into local businesses and actually start doing what you want to do in a field that’s related to what you want to do,” Nathan reflected. “It’s just good to get out and connect with people in the industry that you’re wanting to be a part of.”   Great work, Nathan! 👏 Watch the video on the Bushnell University YouTube!

We had an incredible time hosting See the City Summit with @onehopelanecounty! It was a joy to see all of the meaningful conversations and connection among our community leaders. Let’s continue building, serving, and leading with purpose.

For 130 years, our university has celebrated more traditions than we can count! In this month’s 130-year anniversary reflection, we’re looking back at just a few of the cherished traditions that have shaped our tight-knit community. From Spring Formal dances to our long-standing Cutting of the Ivy, here are a few that are close to our hearts.

Just a few shots of our Beacons hard at work in the classroom! 🍎🧠
