Student Alumni Association

Current Bethel students who have earned 24 credit hours are, by definition, “alumni” of the college and are eligible for nomination to and participation in the Student Alumni Association (SAA). Each spring, faculty, staff and coaches nominate students who, in turn, are invited to join SAA the following school year.

SAA assists the Office of Alumni Relations and Alumni Association with various events that enhance student-alumni connections as well as institutional relationships with alumni and friends of the college.

The SAA creed reads as follows: “Because we are the emerging essence of our alma mater, we will strive to enhance the special relationship between students, alumni, and others so that the heritage of Bethel College will always be a part of our lives, for the present as we follow our dreams and after graduation as we make them come true.”
