The Path to Your Purpose
BETHANY COLLEGE TO PARTICIPATE IN KATS “SAFETY IN FOOTBALL” CAMPAIGN
Sep 26, 2019
LINDSBORG, Kan. – This Saturday, September 28 the Bethany Department of Athletics will be participating in the Kansas Athletic Trainers Society (KATS) “Safety in Football” campaign. In addition, the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference has committed to participating in the campaign as a whole.
The goal of this campaign is to share tips and directions on how sports teams, specifically, each and every football team in Kansas, can improve safety, lessen the risks of injury, and keep the focus on the fun and camaraderie of football. Athletic trainers are a vital part in the safety and health of all athletes. They specialize in prevention, examination, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of emergent, acute, or chronic injuries and medical conditions. This campaign was created to keep athletes safe and recognize the athletic trainers who work very hard day in and day out to keep athletes in the game.
“Athletic trainers are an integral part of our everyday life at Bethany College and the Swede Department of Athletics. The work and services they provide are essential to the safety and wellbeing of our student-athletes,” Bethany Dean of Athletics, Laura Moreno said. “Recognizing the athletic trainers through the KATS “Safety in Football” campaign is a tremendous opportunity to honor them for what can often be a thankless job. The reality is, we could not do what we do without them, and we are so thankful for their contributions to our department and our campus.”

Bethany College conferred degrees upon 99 students in Presser Hall Auditorium on April 27, 2024. The ceremony honored students who earned Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, and Bachelor of Music Education from the college during the 2023-2024 academic year. Summer, fall, and spring graduates were honored during a Baccalaureate worship service at 10:30 a.m. in Presser Hall, followed by Commencement at 2 p.m. Campus Pastor Melissa Woeppel led the Baccalaureate Service, and Rev. Lamont Wells, Executive Director of the Network of Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and Co llege and Universities (NECU). Gracelyn Gaskill '24, a chemistry and music major from Lindsborg, Kansas, provided special music for Commencement. Senior class speakers Inioluwa "Enoch" Ojo '24, a biology major from Katy, Texas, and Benjamin "Ben" Turner '24, a History and Political Science Major from Peyton, Colorado, gave thoughtful remarks on their time at Bethany College, taking time to thank their friends, faculty, and coaches. Dr. Brent Mai '85, Dean of University Libraries at Wichita State University, gave the commencement address, encouraging this year's graduates to go out into the world and exercise the four tenets of stoicism: wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice.
Interim President Steve Eckman commended the efforts of the faculty and staff in securing the grant, stating, "We are immensely grateful to the McPherson County Community Foundation for their incredible generosity. This grant will benefit our students and enrich the educational experiences available in the Smoky Valley community."
The newly appointed Presidential Search Committee will commence their work immediately, aiming to recommend a candidate for Bethany College's 16th president to the board by the April 2025 board meeting.
