What Alumni Say
Here's what Bethel graduates are saying about their Bethel experiences.
 | Our graduates are successful because they have the ability and passion to see the world, and the desire to change it. - E. LaVerne Epp '72, president of Lawrence-Douglas County Biosciences Authority and former president of Bethel |
 | A significant role that Bethel professors play is to light the flame of the passion that is in each student... Bethel was my window to the world and to myself. - Daniel Hege '87, music director of the Syracuse (N.Y.) Symphony Orchestra and the Wichita Symphony Orchestra |
 | Bethel opened my eyes to the wider world. - Kryss Chupp '81, Christian Peacemaker Teams training coordinator and publications coordinator |
 | I learned critical thinking and how to be aware of what you want and how to pursue it. - Thomas Abraham '90, general manager of Zen Zero |
 | At Bethel everyone can be a big fish in a little pond. Everyone can succeed and be recognized in something, at a larger institution, you're not always able to do that. I developed the skills I needed to succeed. - Suzanne Wedel '76, medical doctor and full-time faculty member in surgical critical care at Boston Medical Center |
 | My Bethel College education gave me a very important foundation. Although my career path has differed from what I envisioned as a student, the knowledge, conflict resolution skills and personal relationships that I developed at Bethel have helped me all along the way. - Duane Goossen '78, Kansas Secretary of Administration and State Budget Director |
 | There is no question that Bethel helped prepare me for working with diversity. - Jo Suderman '83, exhibit specialist at Yellowstone National Park |
 | It wasn't until I left Bethel that I realized how high the standard was for learning and growing at Bethel College, and that the friends I made there were just as much a part of the success model as my professors. - Katrina Toews '98, director of The Washington Ballet@THEARC (Town Hall Education, Arts & Recreation Campus) |
