A big thank you to Class Agents!

April 7, 2022

For the last two years, the Bethany College Alumni Council (BCAC) has been actively exploring ways to communicate, engage and connect with alumni. The Class Agent Program was implemented to help strengthen Bethany’s Alumni network and facilitate important relationships with classmates.


While BCAC and the Alumni Communications Committee have successfully recruited 69 Class Agents, we still have openings. You could be the missing link to reconnecting your class to each other and to the college. If you do not see your class represented, consider joining this team of dedicated Swedes. We would love to have YOU!
