Alumni Gatherings
In addition to class reunions and other alumni events on campus, each year the Office of Alumni Relations plans alumni gatherings in the United States and/or abroad, often in connection with choir tours, regional and national church conventions related to Mennonite Church USA, African-American Alumni Association planning meetings or other special regional events.
Upcoming Gatherings
Former players, fans and supporters of the “Marty Ward BC tennis era” are invited to gather at the U.S. Open over Labor Day weekend 2008. Ward, now of Corpus Christi, Texas, and his wife, Carol (Schmidt) Ward ’78, will be there.
When Ward was approached with the idea, his response was, “A tennis reunion at the U.S. Open sounds great to me. I’m pumped!” Those wanting more information should contact Angela (Brodhagen) Bontrager ’00, Wichita, (316) 288-8103, angelaterryb@hotmail.com.
Ward coached men’s and women’s tennis from 1985 to 1999, establishing one of the most dominant tennis programs in the history of the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. He was inducted into the Bethel College Athletic Booster Club Hall of Fame in 2003. For more information on Ward and his players’ accomplishments, go to athletics.bethelks.edu/halloffame.
