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 Using archival photographs, historical documents, and personal stories, the exhibit traces the global and local impact of Bushnell’s mission work.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.

NewJen Tints:

LED headlights have become common on most-of, if not all motorized vehicles. However, they have a severe downside, contributing to 12%-15% of all car crashes. NewJen Tints aims to create a viable, detailed product aimed to resolve this issue; a window tint that dissipates harsh, blue LED light from car headlights. With our sustainable business model, we aim to decrease the amount of car crashes, one car at a time.

‘I’m Tired of Not Being Home’: A Rhetorical Fantasy-Theme Analysis of Huerta’s Speech on PTSD

It is common knowledge that many veterans hold symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); however, as active soldiers, most neglect to acknowledge the early symptoms.  Chaplain Carlos Huerta (2012) explores this in his speech. While the speech may read as an autobiography or personal account of his experiences battling with PTSD, the artifact embodies the experiences of all military members who struggle with the condition.  When Ernest Bormann’s fantasy-theme criticism is applied to analyze Huerta’s speech, it is made clear that Huerta is creating a shared worldview of soldiers, both past and present, who are in constant battle with PTSD both on and off the physical war battlefield.
