Cross-cultural reviews
09/27/2024
Students who went to Washington D.C. explored a city of dramatic contrasts where powerful decision makers work within sight of communities struggling with entrenched poverty.
Experiences in the U.S. and abroad shared
Bluffton University students who participated in short-term cross-cultural experiences last spring will speak during Forum at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in Yoder Recital Hall. The presentation is free and open to the public.
Students will share about experiences including Czech Republic, Guatemala, Ohio River Valley, Washington, D.C., and Kentucky/Appalachia.
Cross-cultural experiences offer a journey of personal discovery into the richness and challenges of other cultures and communities. Immersed in new environments, participants experience diverse lifestyles, make new friendships and learn respect for other heritages all while meeting personal challenges that build character. Students also get hands-on opportunities to focus on the issues of peace and reconciliation and begin toward a path of lifelong mission and service.
