⚾ A NEW CHAPTER. A BIGGER FUTURE. ALL SWEDES! 💙💛

Meet Eduardo A. Tarafa La Santa, who transferred from Sterling College to Bethany College to study Biology and continue pursuing his passion for medicine and baseball!

For Eduardo, choosing Bethany was about more than earning a degree and playing baseball. It was about finding a community where he could grow academically, athletically, and personally.

“Bethany College gave me an opportunity to be able to grow in the medical field and personally. Being able to play baseball and receive an education at an institution where the professors and the people around me allow me to become the best version of myself made it easy for me to come to Lindsborg.”

At Bethany, Eduardo is building the foundation for his future while embracing the opportunity to compete on the baseball field and learn alongside a community invested in his success.

Welcome to Little Sweden, Eduardo! We’re excited to see all you accomplish as a Swede! ⚾💙💛

💙💛 A New Chapter. A Bold Future. One Bethany. 💛💙

This past weekend, Bethany College proudly celebrated the inauguration of Dr. Laura Crawley as the 16th president in our nearly 150-year history! 🎉

A meaningful milestone in Bethany’s story, the occasion celebrated our rich history while looking ahead to a future filled with possibility, innovation, and opportunity.

During her inaugural address, President Crawley shared an exciting vision for Bethany’s future, including expanded opportunities for rural students, the growth of our AI Center for Rural Initiatives, a new Student Success Center, and innovative learning experiences that will prepare students to make a difference in the world.

At the heart of this vision is what has always made Bethany special: our people, our purpose, and our commitment to one another.

As President Crawley reminded us, our future is built on the strength of our community and the courage to imagine what comes next.

✨ The future is rising at Bethany College, and we’re building it together!

From reconnecting with classmates and celebrating lifelong friendships to honoring our rich traditions and looking toward a bright future, Homecoming 2026 was a beautiful reminder of what makes Bethany College so special.

This past weekend, we welcomed alumni, families, friends, students, faculty, staff, and community members back to campus for a celebration filled with Swede pride, meaningful moments, and memories that will last a lifetime.

✨ We celebrated the inauguration of Dr. Laura Crawley as Bethany College’s 16th president, marking an exciting new chapter in our college’s story.

🏈 We honored legendary football coach Ted Kessinger and the 50th anniversary of his first season at Bethany, welcoming nearly 40 former players who traveled from across the country to celebrate his remarkable legacy.

🎓 We recognized outstanding alumni and athletic achievements, celebrated our traditions, cheered on our Swedes, and created new memories across campus.

Most importantly, we were reminded that Bethany is more than a place. It is a community, a shared history, and a belief in the possibilities of what comes next.

As we look toward the future, we carry with us the stories, relationships, and enduring spirit that make this place so extraordinary.

Once a Swede, always a Swede! Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make Homecoming 2026 so memorable. We can't wait to welcome you home again! 💙💛
