The first part of the display will focus on the international students who have come to BC from 1920 to the present. Included in the exhibit will be information about Bedros Sharian of Armenia, the first international student to come to Bluffton College in 1920, and the second and third international students who came from China in 1930. After World War II, BC hosted nearly 500 students from different countries, not including students in the Polish exchange program. The class of 1995 had more graduating international students than any other class in BC s history with 16 international graduates. The second half of Let s cross cultures will feature the history of the cross-cultural exchange program offered to BC students since the 1960s, at which time the program was optional and only offered programs in Central and South America.
All exhibits are open to the public without charge.
