COVID-19 testing
Now that everyone is back from break and on campus, all residential students will need to test and submit their results by Friday. Those who have had a positive test after December 18th do not need to submit results from a COVID-19 test. Students can get tested on or off campus. The appointments for on campus testing are limited so make sure to register as soon as possible.
Interim study abroad
After a long year of mask wearing and travel restriction, it would be nice to spend J-term studying abroad somewhere like Guatemala, Spain or Ecuador. Head over to the Study Abroad Fair on Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Underground for more information. Applications for all J-Term study abroad trips open Thursday and close April 26.
Fall 2021 study abroad
In an email sent out today, the suspension of all semester long study abroad programs for Fall 2021 was announced. The decision regarding programs for Interim and Spring 2022 has not been finalized. Students who plan to study abroad during Interim 2022 will be notified of the decision on these programs before the start of Fall semester. All U.S. off campus programs are still on for Fall 2021.
United Worship Applications
Calling all students who love music. If anyone is interested in spending their Sunday’s vibing on stage in Benson should apply for the United Worship team. Applications are due Wednesday, so any students that want to play an instrument or sing at Vespers, Chapel and other Bethel events should apply as soon as possible. Students should email [email protected] for application information.
Welcome back students
I hope that your Spring Break was at least a little relaxing. While some of you may have spent your break tanning on a beach in California or hiking mountains in Arizona, I spent my break in bed, binge watching Pretty Little Liars and getting more sleep than I have in months. I personally am in for a rude awakening this first week back. Don’t let the post-break slump ruin your grind; keep working hard, and take some time to jump in the puddles from all the rain we are supposed to get this week.
