Testimonial

"I am passionate about teaching and ideas, so I love to see passion in students who dedicate themselves to the athletic, artistic, and academic culture of Bethel’s College of Liberal Arts—students who paint their faces purple and gold to cheer on the Wildcats, students who spend long hours rehearsing for theater and music performances, students who give back to the community by volunteering for Make A Difference Day or Read Across America or the local Humane Society, and students who stay after class to talk more about the ideas presented that day. I look around campus and I see boundless enthusiasm, I see passions realized. I know mine are."
