Ashley Klein is this year's recipient of the Young Alumnus Award, given to an alumnus 39 years of age or younger, to recognize character and citizenship, achievement or service rendered, and honors and recognition received.

Klein is dedicated to her community. In fact, it says so, right on her CV: “I hang out with dogs and make my community better.”

Klein will receive the award and speak to students, faculty and staff in Bethel’s weekly convocation on Monday, Oct. 10.
