Fall 2023 Magazine

21 FALL 2023 Emily (Rodgers) Sherwood ’99 , Director of Development and Alumni Engagement 574.807.7619 | Alumni@BethelUniversity.edu ALUMNI NEWS Dear Alumni, Last fall I conveyed the excitement and hope that was permeating campus. As I reflect on this past year and the semester ahead, I’m encouraged by the spiritual vibrancy that defines this school year so far. The appointment of Dr. Shawn Holtgren as vice president for spiritual life and university affairs, the presence of Courtney Richards and Dr. Bellefeuille’s theme of “Speak Jesus” all contribute to the focus of our campus. Our eyes are on Jesus, and we want to point each of our students to Him. I hope that you will join us in prayer as we seek to minister to our current Pilots! We had a great summer connecting with alumni at camps, baseball games and reunions! Be sure to check out some photos from our recent events and watch for more events this year. Most of our event announcements are circulated by email, so be sure we have your most up-to-date information. You can update us at BethelUniversity.edu/AlumniUpdate . I hope to see you on campus soon! 2023 Alumn i Award Re c ipi ents Alyssa (Toupin) Welch ‘13, Ph.D. Young Alumna of the Year Rev.
