Called to Serve: A History of Missions at Bushnell University

This student-curated museum exhibit explores the rich legacy of missions and missionaries connected to Bushnell University. Using archival photographs, historical documents, and personal stories, the exhibit traces the global and local impact of Bushnell’s mission work. Designed and built collaboratively by students, the display incorporates creative use of reclaimed materials—wood pallets, benches, and gridwalls—to craft an immersive and engaging visitor experience. Each section reflects on the motivations, challenges, and enduring influence of those who have been “called to serve.” This exhibit invites viewers to reflect on the evolving role of missions in both historical and contemporary contexts.

The State of Teaching at Bushnell University

In the Fall 2023 term, a call went out for nominations of Bushnell students who had demonstrated by their observable behaviors that they were committed to approaching their classes as opportunities to learn, not simply to manipulate the class environment for high grades or other indirect rewards. Those nominees were named Bergquist Laureates. The award is named for Dr. Tim Bergquist, the founder of ACE Day, who loved to encourage students to be scholars. At noon, the Bergquist Laureates will participate in a panel whose topic is the elements of Bushnell classes that help them learn, things that do not help them learn, and things they wish they would see that would help them learn. Bushnell faculty are invited to attend to listen.

The panelists:

  • Ezekiel Aldaco
  • Albert Allen
  • Christopher Kamkar
  • Grace Kitchens
  • Annika Poet
  • John Stephens
  • Matthew Wilhite
