Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ

This year, we’re bringing the entire campus community together for a week filled with connection, Wildcat spirit, and new memories. It all kicks off with Fall Fest, a brand-new Bethel tradition featuring a full day of fun on campus—complete with food trucks, games, music, and even hot air balloon rides! From there, the celebrations continue with reunions, athletic events, performances, and moments that remind us why Bethel feels like home.

Whether you’re a current student, a proud alum, or part of our incredible faculty and staff, Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ 2025 is your chance to come together, share in the excitement, and make new memories on the campus we all love.
