  • Today we raised up a cross atop Goodrich Hall’s bell tower. ✝️
 
Standing just over 80 feet high, the cross joins our four bells at the very top of the tower as a proud proclamation of our faith in Christ and a clear marker for our campus in downtown Eugene.
 
A crowd of students, staff, faculty, and our Board of Trustees eagerly gathered to watch as the cross was lifted up and mounted to the top of the tower, where it now resides above the skyline of our beloved city.
 
Look forward to more exciting updates on Goodrich Hall and Tower in the future!

  • Meet Elizabeth Box! 💡

Elizabeth is a junior from Eugene, Oregon majoring in theology with a concentration in pastoral ministry. Around Bushnell's campus Elizabeth works for our Campus Ministry team, with her responsibilities  including leading our night chapel gatherings. 

A fun fact about Elizabeth is that she loves to go rock climbing! She usually goes climbing around three times  a week at a local gym here in Eugene. 

Elizabeth's favorite thing about Bushnell is that it is so easy to get to know people personally and form meaningful relationships. 

"My advice to new students would be to be bold in starting conversations with new people, because everyone around you is just as nervous as you and they probably want to get to know new people just as much as you too!"

  • Getting groceries with Michael and Chris! 🛒

Michael and Chris continue our grocery shopping series in the local area with a trip to Winco foods to see the options our students have access to. Will they stick to their shared budget to stock their kitchen with their favorite foods or will they have to put everything back on the shelves due to a forgotten wallet?

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.
