My education from Bethel prepared me to go into a tough line of work with confidence in my abilities. People know that Bethel students work hard and are knowledgeable in their work. They also know that our faith is something we take seriously. . . They know we will be, trustworthy, honest, and reliable. —Jeff Salisbury, ’03
