PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
"These last few months as Bluffton’s ninth president, before I retire at the end of
June, have given me reason to reflect on my experience serving in that role. And what

of Bluffton University!"

LOOKING BACK

Harder, who also shared that the most rewarding part of the job has been the privilege
of simply working on Bluffton’s campus.
