Bluffton University's second annual Five Minutes of Fame event will take place on Tuesday, February 2, 2016, from 4:00 - 5:00pm in the library's Reading Room. This unique presentation event allows each of our eight student scholars their own "five minutes of fame" to take the podium and share their research, creative work, or pre-professional experiences. Presenters were nominated by members of the Bluffton University faculty. Join us for this fast and lively event that is fun for both presenters and audience members alike!
