Graduate Spotlight

“Bethany College gave me the opportunity to learn and think, and to be challenged by many professors who remain mentors and friends long past graduation. It gave me the opportunity to work with classmates who became part of an extended network of accomplished professionals who continue to offer guidance, support, and friendship.

“My experience at Bethany gave me confidence to take risks. It taught me the importance of being insatiably curious and relentlessly kind. Bethany College didn’t change who I was, but it helped define who I am today.”Jeffrey Seglin ‘78 Senior Lecturer and Director of Harvard Kennedy School Communications Program, Harvard University Syndicated Ethics Columnist, “The Right Thing,” Tribune Content Agency
