Did you know that you can help your college by doing internet searches through Good Search? www.goodsearch.com is a charitable search engine. What’s in it for you? You are able to search the web at a location that allows you to filter adult information. What’s in it for Bethany. We receive the benefit of one penny per search.
We estimate that each search will raise $0.01 for Bethany. The more people use GoodSearch, the more money will be directed towards your college. The sky is the limit!
Here's an example of how much your organization can earn: 100 people doing 2 searches a day could yield $730 in estimated revenue for the college. For free! At the rate that we have currently seen we would raise $560. To date we have $96.23 accumulated from searches. Won’t you join us today? I set Good Search as my homepage. I even link to the Bethany website through Good Search. Please help BC in this simple free way!

Alumni – do you have a minute? And will you use that minute to do something that will benefit Bethany College?
All you have to do is follow the example of David Nelson, ’67, who added the Bethany College website as a link to his own website (www.humanagenda.com). With each new link to a website, Bethany College becomes more visible to more people searching the web every day.

Bethany College has begun a 10-month process designed to help the college live up to its full potential. Bethany has contracted with Carnegie Communications to conduct a branding study for the college. The process includes market research, brand-plan development, and development of creative vehicles to help communicate with our constituents. The end result will be clearly articulated, consistent, compelling ways to communicate what Bethany does best to prospective students, alumni, donors, and the community.

ARCHIVES ~ Click here for Bethany Connection Archives
Important Note: A quick note about the archives. You will notice that we are now producing one publication monthly rather than two. After experimenting with the website and electronic news it appears that one is sufficient to get all of the news to you. We will continue to forward the monthly news links to you at the end of each month. Thank you for your feedback regarding our online publications.
