Bethel University: Student Life

Student Life

Housed in the Vera Low Center for Student Enrichment, the Office of Student Life is here to help you maintain a healthy, balanced life. With all of our staff housed in the student center, you’ll find it’s convenient to call on us for whatever you may need.

Fulfilling a Mission

At Bethel University, the Office of Student Life's mission is more than words written on paper. Every day, our staff commits to helping students develop to their highest potential as whole persons – intellectually, spiritually, socially and physically – in a Christian environment.

Student Government Association

Do you want to have a say in Campus Life? Come participate in SGA. This is where one finds out what is going on at Bethel, about organizations, how to start an organization, and how to make changes. Meetings are every 2nd & 4th Thursday, during the spring and fall semester.
