Bethel Magazine - Spring 2025

20 BETHELUNIVERSITY.EDU/MAGAZINE Kristie (Nave) Herron ’14, Director of Development and Alumni Engagement 574.807.7959 | Alumni@BethelUniversity.edu ALUMNI NEWS Dear Alumni, As we prepare to close out our 78th academic year here at Bethel, I am reflecting on the connections made throughout the years. From mentors and teammates to finding your spouse and making lifelong friends, Bethel has always been a place of deep connection both interpersonally and spiritually. This has been a special year where we have seen so many of those connections firsthand. At camps last summer, we “cooked up memories” with our alumni and reminisced about meals shared at the Acorn and Dining Commons. Homecoming was in October, and we had the privilege to see alumni come back and connect with former mentors and people who poured into them spiritually. And this May, we look forward to hosting another 50th class on campus and can’t wait to hear stories of dorm life and what campus looked like back then from friends and former roommates. Seeing connections made at Bethel and hearing how those connections evolve as students graduate is such an exciting part of what we do here in the alumni office.We want to hear your stories of connection too. Please update us at BethelUniversity.edu/AlumniUpdate or visit us on campus soon! Stay up to date on upcoming events at BethelUniversity.edu/Alumni-Events. We can’t wait to connect with you!
