Global Weekend was presented by International Connection (ICon) and has been an ongoing campus tradition for more than 30 years. This year’s events included: International chapel featuring guest speaker Ernest Glover; a showing of the movie Lemon Tree; global displays presented by more than 20 international and non-international Bluffton students; an ethnic meal prepared by Bluffton University dining services and a variety show put on by students, faculty and staff.
