BETHANY CELEBRATES CLASS OF 2020 AND 2021 IN JOINT COMMENCEMENT

May 21, 2021

LINDSBORG, KAN., May 21, 2021 –On May 8, 2021, Bethany College conferred degrees upon 140 students,  who earned Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Music Education Degrees in the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 academic year. This was the first time in history Bethany College celebrated the achievements of two academic classes at the same time.  The year 2020 proved to be challenging transitioning abruptly to remote learning following an extended spring break and celebrating 2020 graduates virtually because of health precautions required by the pandemic. Thankfully in 2021, the health precautions relaxed somewhat and subject to following required health precautions the graduates of 2019-2020 were invited to return to campus to cross the stage with the graduates of 2020-2021.  Preparing the Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremony was complicated  by contingent planning based on COVID metrics and health precautions, and the weather. To adhere to local health guidelines, graduates were limited to four guests tracked through an online ticket system, two Baccalaureate ceremonies were offered to reduce numbers in attendance, and Commencement was moved outdoors and live streamed. 


Susan Candea, Bishop of the Central States Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, after being ordained in 1983 followed her M.Div. from Wartburg, preached at both Baccalaureate ceremonies. She asked graduates to use their individual gifts in the world. Bishop Candea shared her gifts in the midwest, and through involvement in many aspects of ministry woven throughout different calls, serving as a co-pastor at a two-point parish in western Kansas, until accepting a call to serve in Topeka, KS where she served for 17 years, followed by service in Colorado until 2013. In 2013 she returned to Kansas to serve on the synod staff as a Bishop’s Associate and later as a Director for Evangelical Mission. She began her term as the Bishop, in September of 2019.

 

 


At Commencement, Dr. Elizabeth Mauch, President of Bethany College, the college’s 15th president, addressed the graduates acknowledging foremost their resilience resulting from the impact COVID had on their college career.  “While the year of 2020 is one many of us want to forget,” President Mauch suggested that, “remembering gives us direction and hope for what we can be in the future,” and that it is these memories of such a challenging year that prepare graduates to have a “meaningful impact on the world.”


Two class of 2021 graduates also shared some friendly advice for their classmates. Mr. Joaquin Diaz, Class of 2021 graduate, of Hereford, Arizona, known for his positivity as a student athlete, starting his football journey at the age of five, shared how football led him to Bethany. With a major in religion and a minor in psychology, he will begin his career in Human Resources where he will continue to spread the word, “the power of positive thinking” in the workplace just as he did in the halls of academia. It was also the kindness of others that he remembered fondly, sharing, “around the same time when it gets cold and the first blizzard of the year, Dr. Fox sends out an email to all of her students saying that she has a warm blanket, warm food and a nice place to be if you get cold or need a home cooked meal. It’s something that sticks with me when thinking about my time here at Bethany.”


Also addressing the crowd was Denise Chestnut, Class of 2021, of Lindsborg, Kansas.

At 70, Denise Chestnut is the oldest member of this class, retiring from being a special education paraeducator after 25 years, before attending Bethany. “Being a full time college student at this stage of my life has certainly been challenging, and one of the highlights of my life,” Denise said. Denise reminded her classmates, even if college is put on hold because “life gets in the way, “your dreams are always there.”

Bethany College Honors Faculty and Staff for Service and Achievement

May 9, 2025
LINDSBORG, KS. MAY 9, 2025 — Bethany College held an employee recognition dinner on May 6 to celebrate the end of the academic year. Faculty and staff celebrating service anniversaries included Denise Carson, Director of the Wallerstedt Library (40 years); Frank Ballew, Director of Publications (25 years); Andrea Ring, Chair of the Department of Psychology and Associate Professor of Psychology (15 years); Marcus Hensel, Assistant Professor of English (10 years); and Kelley Menke, Thomas DeWitt, Adam Long, Dala Roberts, Brian Powers, and Jenni Snider (5 years). These dedicated individuals exemplify the lasting commitment that helps define the Bethany experience. We’re proud to celebrate their continued service and the strength they bring to our campus community. The Donna Meredith Humphreys Award for Teaching was presented to Dr. Rob Habiger , Class of 1969, in recognition of his exceptional mentorship and dedication to his students. The award, established by Don and Alice Humphreys of Great Bend, Kansas, honors the memory of their daughter, Meredy, who earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Bethany in 1991. It is given annually to a faculty member who demonstrates outstanding teaching ability, inspires intellectual curiosity in both students and colleagues, and takes a genuine interest in students’ personal growth. The recipient must also encourage leadership and the development of strong character. Dr. Habiger, who recently moved back to Colorado with his wife Celeste, played a significant role in leading the Presidential Search Committee and teaching physics during his time in Lindsborg. Over the past year, Rob and Celeste became deeply involved in the Bethany College community, attending nearly every event, founding a scholarship, hosting gatherings, mentoring students, and generously volunteering their time throughout the town. In addition to the Meredy Humphreys Award, Rob and Celeste were honored with the special TTT (Time, Talent, Treasure) Award for their exceptional contributions to the campus. Bethany College is deeply grateful for their dedication and service. Dr. Marcus Hensel , Associate Professor of English, was named the recipient of the Mortvedt Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership Award . Established in honor of former Bethany President Robert Mortvedt, the award recognizes individuals who demonstrate outstanding teaching, distinctive leadership, and a commitment to strengthening the college’s academic and campus life. Dr. Hensel was selected for his engaging classroom approach, commitment to student success, and meaningful contributions to the academic life of the college. Crystal Houp , Admissions Operations Manager, received the Ken Sjogren Annual Staff Service Award , which recognizes a full-time staff member who exemplifies hospitality, servant leadership, collaboration, and steadfast support for the mission of Bethany College. Crystal has served Bethany College for nearly two decades, consistently demonstrating dedication, professionalism, and care in her work. Her impact on the campus community, particularly within the Admissions Office, has been both broad and lasting. Colleagues and nominators described her as dependable, detail-oriented, and a true steward of hospitality. “Over the many years that Crystal has been at Bethany, she has served hundreds of families along with our faculty and staff,” one nomination read. “Her work may go unnoticed to many, but to the team she works with and those she serves, it’s something you can’t miss.” The Ken Sjogren Annual Staff Service Award honors the legacy of Kenneth “Ken” Edward Sjogren ’57, who served Bethany College for 23 years in various leadership roles. The award celebrates the vital role staff play in the life of the college and their partnership in supporting students and faculty. Bethany College is grateful for Crystal’s outstanding contributions and is proud to recognize her with this year’s award. Bethany College is a liberal arts institution located in Lindsborg, Kansas, and was established by Swedish Lutheran immigrants in 1881. For over 140 years, Bethany has been dedicated to educating, developing, and challenging individuals to pursue truth and excellence while leading lives of faith, learning, and service. At Bethany, students join a community of dedicated educators and caring mentors who support them as they discover, explore, and navigate their purpose. Bethany College is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

A Degree 55 Years in the Making

May 6, 2025
LINDSBORG, KS. MAY 6, 2025 — As Bethany College celebrates the accomplishments of the Class of 2025, one graduate's walk across the stage represents an unfinished dream now fulfilled more than five decades later. In 1970, Marilyn Allen Peterson was just one class away from earning her degree in elementary education from Bethany College. But when her husband, Dr. Thomas Peterson (Bethany Class of 1968), was called into military service during the Vietnam War, the couple relocated to Arizona with little notice. In the midst of the move, Marilyn was unable to complete her final requirement: a single science elective. Earlier this year, Dr. Peterson contacted Bethany College to share his wife’s story and asked a simple question: Could she still finish what she started? Thanks to the efforts of faculty and staff who dug into old catalogs, found the transcripts stored on microfilm, and brainstormed creative solutions for completing that final requirement, we are proud to say: yes, she could—and she did. With her final credit completed, Marilyn became eligible to receive her degree. At age 76, Marilyn Allen Peterson officially joins the Bethany College Class of 2025. During Commencement, she was recognized with heartfelt applause from the entire Bethany community. "Marilyn, on behalf of Bethany College, we celebrate your dedication, your patience, and your enduring Swede spirit," said Dr. Laura Crawley, President of Bethany College. "Let this moment remind us all that it’s never too late to finish what we start, and that some of the most meaningful victories are the ones that take a little longer to reach." Marilyn’s story is not only a tribute to personal perseverance, but also a testament to the lifelong bonds formed at Bethany College and the value of returning to one’s roots to complete the journey.
