Over 200 graduates get their diplomas during Bluffton University commencement

BLUFFTON,OH  (WLIO) - Over 200 graduates are ready to use their Bluffton University education to take on the world. Students representing the 7 different colleges got their diplomas in the annual Commencement Ceremony. Most of this graduating class were just Freshmen when COVID hit and were forced to live off campus for a while. That experience helped shape the students and each one took away something that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

“I learned that relationships are the most important thing,” says Caleb Mikesell, Majored in Primary Education and Intervention Specialist. “Those relationships that had and held very tightly during COVID are the ones that continue to impact me today. I think those are the most important thing that I gained and have learned from through college.”
