New Residence Hall


Students, staff, faculty and community formed a rectangular outline in front of Cruise Hall to symbolize the projected Residence Hall. Right before Bluefield College broke ground with city officials everyone in the outline let go of balloons to mark the start of construction on the Hall. The 100 bed dorm will have modern conveniences and common areas with kitchenettes and activity space. The $4.3 million dollar project should be open summer or fall of 2009. "This is the Day the Lord Has made, We will rejoice and be glad in it!" ~Dr. Olive

Mud Pig Day 2008


Bluefield College celebrated its 30th annual Mud Pig Day yesterday, May 1st. Mud Pig Day is a beloved day of students and faculty. Classes shut down the Thursday before exams begin to help everyone let loose. Students partook in the ridiculously long slip and slide, mud pit, moonwalks/obstacle courses and mounds of food.


This year’s Mud Pig Day commenced with the ground breaking for the new Residence Hall that will be open Fall ’09. It was an all around exciting, yet relaxing, day for BC students and faculty/staff.
