Our Beacons are building confidence and taking steps toward their future careers during Mock Interview Day on campus, putting their professional skills into practice alongside business professionals.
Reflecting on the opportunity, senior Maxwell Al-rubaie shared: “Going to Mock interview day was very beneficial for me in seeing how I interviewed in a professional space that I was able to be comfortable in. I was originally nervous to go, however once I saw some friends I relaxed and took a lot of the weight away. I wish I took advantage of the opportunity more throughout my years here.”
Great work, Beacons!

Located within Bushnell’s Health and Science Center, this innovative facility will simulate real-world healthcare environments to better prepare students for careers in nursing and other healthcare professions.

Bushnell University is excited to announce a new journey to transform our campus, our students, and our community: Venture Further.
On Saturday, October 24, we kicked off the new campaign with a celebration of our past and a presentation of our vision for the future as we seek to provide meaningful resources for the community in which we live and serve.
Venture Further: The Campaign for Bushnell University is built upon three pillars:
EXPAND the College of Health Professions – Equipping Bushnell graduates to live out the healing mission of Jesus as competent and compassionate caregivers.
ENHANCE the student experience – Transforming the student experience through campus expansion and supporting a thriving learning community.
EQUIP the next generation of leaders – Continuing Bushnell’s commitment to making higher education affordable and accessible to all students.
With an overall fundraising goal of $36 million, we are incredibly grateful to announce that Venture Further is launching with over $11 million already raised, made possible through the generous support of our alumni, friends, and university partners.
We look forward with excitement and gratitude to all that this next chapter will make possible for Bushnell University and the communities we serve!
