BETHANY COLLEGE
VÄLKOMMEN WEEKEND 2021
Summer Swede 2021
Students: It’s hard to believe it has been over a year since the pandemic changed our day to day lives so drastically! Although you might think of Bethany as a place of higher learning for students, faculty, and staff, we learned that when faced with unimaginable uncertainty, we could do the unthinkable. Most of all we learned, once again at Bethany, that we are resilient. Of course, we now look a bit more hopeful to the fall. Our future holds a continuation of the preliminary work necessary to launch Bethany’s Path To Your Purpose so that your future is better. Your future starts while you are at Bethany – where you will be finding your path … and Bethany will work to make certain students have opportunities through intentional programming to experience their own path to the fullest! In addition to programming, renovation projects are underway to enhance the student experience by creating modern spaces for students on their journey to success as a student, success after graduation, and success as citizens. The Wallerstedt Social Science building renovation started early May and the Warner residence hall renovation started a few weeks later. The Warner renovations is projected to finish in the spring semester of 2022 and Gregory Hall renovations will follow. Although Gregory renovation will start spring semester, we hope the excitement of moving into a newly renovated Warner Hall will eradicate any inconvenience of students moving from Gregory to Warner. It is an exciting time to be at Bethany and we look forward to seeing you on campus soon!
