Today the Senators participated in the Bethel Adventure course. It was so much more challenging than I expected!! Just imagine 11 college students trying to balance on a tight-rope in a little clearing in the woods. It was definitely good bonding for our group. For example, we learned that Justine has the best balance out of any of us, and she will probably be sore tomorrow from all her attempts to lead us across the ropes! We learned a lot about each other and  really had to function as a team to get the job done.  Hopefully we can try it again, just maybe when it's not so hot outside!

Move in day!

All 2010-2011 Senators will move in to campus on Friday, August 27th!

This way all senators will be available to help new and returning students the next day (Saturday the 28th). 

As you returning students move in this year, you may notice the space previously known as Bubberts has morphed into something much more modern, practical, and USABLE! Mojo's Coffee will be opening its doors in early September for all faculty, staff, students, as well as community members. Mojo's will offer a variety of coffee and specialty drinks, both hot and cold, as well as a delicious menu of pastries and sandwiches.

Also, don't forget the Bethel Bike Share will be available again this year on a first come, first serve basis. Please contact Sarah Pohl, Naomi Graber, or myself if you are interested.
