B.I.S.O.N. PROGRAM

“Nothing is more important to a college than the admission of bright, motivated students. Experience teaches us that alumni can be our greatest asset in finding and recruiting these students.” Robert A. Sandercox, ‘54

The B.I.S.O.N. program (formerly known as the B.I.S.O.N.S. – Bethanians in support of new students) has been resurrected and is looking for volunteers. A brief, concise training program is being implemented to help alumni engage in this critical mission.

The roles of the involved alumni are to:

1. Help maintain the strength of the College as well as maintain the quality of its education,
2. Make Bethany more widely known and better understood in your local area,
3. Provide guidance to prospective candidates, and
4. Provide information about the students you have met to the Enrollment Office staff.

B.I.S.O.N. Program Goals

• Become informed about the College as it is today,
• Become informed about the requirements of the admission process,
• Contact prospective students to let them know we are interested in them and to answer questions about Bethany,
• Participate in, and represent Bethany at, local college fairs,
• Help sponsor receptions for prospective students in the community,
• Congratulate students who have been accepted for admission,
• Maintain a vested interest in prospective students as they move through the enrollment process,
• Seek talented students who may not know of Bethany, and
• Establish a relationship with a particular high school in your area.
