Bethany breaks new ground
Tuesday, September 02, 2008

By Sarah Harstad, Director of Alumni Relations

For generations, Bethany has existed to build leaders for the future. This mission has demanded many physical changes to our campus over the years. The hillside has seen new buildings, new roads, and new sports fields. Despite all of this change, Bethany’s focus has remained the same. The hallmark of a Bethany education is the ever-present Word of God.

As Bethany’s enrollment continues to grow, we strive to maintain competitiveness and relevance among young adults looking for quality education. The buildings on campus are bursting at the seams with exciting activities and busy students. To continue to accommodate this growth, a new building was imperative.

On Sunday, June 15, 2008, Bethany broke ground on the second academic building to be built in the last 20 years! Starting July 30, the campus view changed forever as the construction crew began serious digging in the newly fenced-in construction zone. In the short time span of two years, majors such as business, communication, psychology, and the humanities will find themselves in a new, state of the art home.

It’s certainly an exciting time to be at Bethany. As alumnus Nate Birkholz, (’93) commented at a recent golf outing, “The campus doesn’t look the same as during my years but, I know that what happens on campus is the same. The mission of Bethany hasn’t changed and the Christian education is still the cornerstone of the Bethany experience.”

Keep an eye on the construction, webcams will be up soon. If you are in the area, stop up and visit campus. We would be glad to see you!
