What about life at Bethel are you most excited to see come back to normal after COVID?
Karina Nelson ’24 (International Relations – Alexandria, MN)
Student Activities events back at full force — I’m the Banquets & Dances director and am looking forward to planning my events!
Essie Shull ’22 (Digital Humanities/History – Cambridge, MN)
I’ve been involved in Bethel’s music ensembles since I was a freshman, so I’m excited to have more normal performances. I’m most looking forward to doing Festival of Christmas again.
Madison Wilson ’24 (Political Science – Davenport, IA)
Football games and full-capacity Vespers.
Elly Olsen ’23 (Business & Poli Sci – Winona, MN)
The general openness of students… it was really hard to meet people and hang out because everyone was freaked out about other people — especially people they didn’t know well.
Amanda Steiner ’22 (Social Studies Education – Grayslake, IL)
Less anxiety in big classes.
Laura Charlotte Underwood ’24 (History – Huntsville, AL)
I’m excited to build better relationships in my classes and clubs. It was a lot harder to form those connections with limited group work, masks, and social distancing.
Will Swanda ’24 (History/Social Studies Ed – Edina, MN)
I don’t know what pre-COVID Bethel feels like, so I’m excited to figure it out!
