Counselors

	Tom Flunker Admissions Counselor Having taught at the grade school and high school levels for 14 years prior to coming to Bethany, I now have an opportunity to see several of the same students I taught, coached (or even coached against), when they visit with me about their options for college. I enjoy working at Bethany because it is great to be able to share with students the many opportunities that await them at Bethany. For students to see the incredible uniqueness of our campus, and realize that attending college at Bethany really is a viable option is truly rewarding. My areas: Twin Cities, Milwaukee, and the Fox Cities and Green Bay in Wisconsin. Tom also works with students of color and minority students throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.
