As an honored, long-standing, and unbroken tradition, we had the chance to hear passionate readings of scripture from our Bash-Whisler finalists (left to right) Kyle Foss, Creeann Jarman, and Grace Kitchens as they recited personally chosen sections of His Word to a room full of students, faculty, and staff. We love the devotion to scripture from all who participated in this year's Bash-Whisler Bible Contest!

Celebrating 130 Years

On May 17, 2025, Bushnell University will host Evening of Tribute: Celebrating 130 Years of Wisdom, Faith, and Service as a kick-off to our 130th year. We invite you to come celebrate what makes Bushnell special: our students, our alumni, our community, and our business partners. This memorable event is an opportunity to raise funds for the Beacon Fund for Student Scholarships and honor our 2025 Beacon Award winners.

Gifts to the Beacon Fund help keep a Bushnell education within reach for students. Thank you for investing in the lives of our students.

After 130 years of wisdom, faith and service, we find ourselves positioned for a season of campus development and program expansion.

  • Campaign goal: raise $18,000,000 in three years
  • Community participation needed for vision realization
  • Campaign already supported by significant large gifts
  • Six-pronged campaign:
    • Three building projects to increase capacity
    • Three program developments to expand influence

    How You Can Help

    While the campaign is already fueled by a number of large gifts, we need the participation of our whole community to see the vision fully realized.
