Looking back on last year`s New Student Orientation as we count down to this year`s starting on August 20! We can`t wait to officially welcome you to Bushnell University!
Make sure you`re BEACON READY by logging into my.bushnell.edu to check your status and register for Orientation.
We`ll see you soon!
It`s all quiet on campus, but it`s looking ready for our Beacons!
There’s been a lot of movement on campus this summer, and for this edition of Mic’d Up Beacs! 🗣️🎙️, we’re giving a shoutout to the Maintenance Team that keeps us running smoothly.
Get a glimpse of our Maintenance Team student workers as they prepare the Academic Center and Health & Science Center for the new school year. Plus, @cadenhoerauf shows off some cooking skills during a team break!
Thanks to everyone who joined us for Summer Beacon Day! 💙☀️💛 We loved getting to show you what makes Bushnell University special.
For one incredible week, our 2026 Bushnell University Kosova Missions Team 🇽🇰 shared the gospel by serving alongside ministry partners and building meaningful relationships on the university`s first-ever mission trip to Kosova.
Based in Gjakova, our Beacons partnered with Metush and Nora through Forward Edge`s Cornerstone Kosova ministry, which provides educational support, nutritious meals, shelter building, and meaningful connections for children and their families. The team also experienced the rich history and culture of the region, including a visit to a 13th-century Orthodox church that offered an opportunity to reflect on Kosova`s place within the region of Illyricum during the era of Ancient Rome, which the Apostle Paul referenced traveling to in Romans 15:19.
Through a family connection with our Forward Edge partners, the team also connected with several girls` basketball teams through practices and scrimmages, building friendships with players and their families.
Great job, Beacons! Thank you for making history as the first Bushnell team to serve in Kosova and for faithfully sharing Christ`s love with the communities you encountered.
Yum! ☀️ Our Summer Adventures continue as we follow a lunch break with our Bushnell staff! 🥪
Being within the University District of Eugene gives us no shortage of nearby food options, and for Hannah, our Enrollment Systems Coordinator, Café Yumm! remains a favorite. Come along and see what a sunny lunch break looks like for the team working to get our university ready for the fall semester!
☀️ Summer Adventures continue with Isaac and Nick as they team up to create a brand-new beat! 🎧🎶
Combining their creativity and shared love of music, the two collaborated in Isaac’s home studio to produce an original track, and even wrote lyrics to go with it. Tune in to hear what they came up with and check out the full video on YouTube!
This is Day in the Life: Summer Edition ☀️
We’re checking in with our Beacons to see what summer looks like beyond the school year. Kyra “KQ” gave us a glimpse into a sun-filled day packed with work, athletic training, and time with friends.
Just another summer day for KQ!
🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day!
Wishing our Bushnell community a safe and joyful Fourth of July as we celebrate our nation`s 250th anniversary!
For just over two weeks, our 2026 Bushnell University Cambodia Missions Team 🇰🇭 had the opportunity to serve alongside local ministry partners, build meaningful relationships, and share the hope of Jesus with communities throughout Cambodia.
Spending time in and around Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, our Beacons immersed themselves in Cambodia`s history and culture through experiences such as taking a Khmer culture and language class and visiting several significant historical sites.
Working alongside local teachers and pastors, the team shared the Gospel with students through songs and Bible stories, taught English through games, and led fun crafts. They also helped build shelters in a village four hours outside of Phnom Penh, serving local families in practical and meaningful ways.
Great job, Beacons! We loved seeing you serve and share Christ`s love with so many communities throughout Cambodia.
💈 Step into the Beacon Barbershop!
