Join Bethany College as it welcomes the Class of 2027. New students will walk through the historic Oglebay Gates and sign the Book of Matriculation as they participate in a formal matriculation convocation. As part of a tradition that dates back to the 1800s, this class will not walk through the Oglebay Gates together again until their graduation from Bethany.

The class photo will take place at 4:45 p.m. by the fountain in front of Old Main, and students will walk through the Oglebay Gates at 5 p.m. and proceed to Pennington Quadrangle for the ceremony.
