Area Of Study

Accounting (Major, Minor)

“When I look back on my experiences at Bethany College, I immediately think about my Freshman Seminar class with Dr. Buckelew. It was the first time that I was encouraged and taught to think differently and be open to other solutions. These are the exact same things that I use when mentoring and teaching our leadership team at Ziegnfelder.”

Kevin Heller, Accounting '95
