Bethel Magazine Fall 2019

WE ARE BETHEL UNIVERSITY BY LISSA (GRASHORN) DIAZ ’07 WITH EMILY OLIVER ’20 When Bethel College became Bethel University on May 6, 2019, we began talking more about four key attributes that define us. These include strong academics, spiritual formation, mentoring and relationships. These attributes were identified as true of Bethel through research done by Brand Innovation Group (BIG), through focus groups and surveys of thousands of campus constituents. They are reinforced below, through profiles of recent alumni. But we imagine that they’ll resonate with all seven decades of alumni and friends, because these attributes have been woven into the fabric of Bethel since its founding in 1947. As Bethel University, we remain focused on our mission—to impact the world through Christ-centered graduates —and steadfastly hold to our motto: With Christ at the Helm.
