How can our alumni and friends help with our new Path To Your Purpose Initiative

February 3, 2022

I am so proud of our alumni.  While I haven’t been able to visit with many in the past few years, I have gotten to know a few more when I’m able to join in virtual opportunities – such as FIKA Friday (please email Ashtyn Johnson at snidera@bethanylb.edu) if you’d like to join the invitation list).  I am filled with hope that we will have more opportunities to gather more regularly soon.  As we launch the spring semester, we are also beginning a pilot program as part of Path to Your Purpose.  Chad Moore, the Director of Path to Your Purpose, and I have already had the chance to discuss this pilot program in a previous video blog, but you may be wondering how you can help.  There are so many ways!  A central tenet of this program will involve experiential opportunities for our students.  Are there opportunities for student internships where you work or worship or volunteer?  Are these opportunities far away, but could be completed virtually?   Do you know of a company or organization that might be a good place to take students for a tour so they can have an opportunity to see what is possible in their future?  Do you have other ideas?  Please email Chad Moore at moorecd@bethanylb.edu with your ideas for opportunities.  While we have the spring semester pilot planned out, we will be looking to ramp up the program in the Fall 2022 semester - so any ideas will be welcomed!  Thank you!!
