As alumni\, we were treated with wonderful meals\, special recognition and privileged seating at the graduation.”\n     — Shirley Tuckey ’72 \n\n“It was great to see former classmates; reminisce about the way things used to be and to hear some of the life stories. It was an honor to walk in the processional at commencement. One of the highlights for me was the luncheon to hear about what God is doing now at Bethel and to hear stories of recent alumni.”\n     — Tom Swank ’70 \n\n“Returning to Bethel campus on my 50th graduation reunion was a special day. I was able to reconnect with former classmates and we were given a tour of the campus and relived many memories. It was a special honor to participate in the graduation ceremony by marching with current graduates and being recognized as the 50-year class. I believe this is the highlight of the year for Bethel University\, and you do not want to miss this opportunity to participate.”\n     — Harlan Gingrich ’72
