What does it mean to be a Bethanian, and how have the students, faculty, and staff who came before us shaped the legacy of 'dear old Bethany'? This course surveys the history of Bethany College from its founding to the early 2000s. In addition to traditional lectures, students will participate in in-class activities that foster further engagement with the history of the college. Students will tour historic sites associated with the college, gain hands-on experience sorting, preserving, and utilizing primary sources in the college archives, and research the impact on the campus community of a person, department, club, sport, association, policy, or building of their choice.
