DEVELOPMENT The attractive Director of College Relations is Mrs. Tony Prosser. Mrs. Prosser is very good at keeping the Bethel Public Relations in good order. When you hear someone in the community refer to this college or to the students of this college as quality assets you can thank Mrs. Prosser. Other duties Mrs. Prosser takes care of for the college include fund raising campaigns, working with the alumni development and keeping alumni records up to date, planning such events as Homecoming and re-unions, and putting together public information as news releases. Mrs. Prosser has her undergraduate degree from Bethel and is currently working on her Master's from Memphis State University. Jennifer Connell is the Office Manager of Development. Her job is more important than many people realize in that she keeps the records for the Giving clubs and the Design for the Future. As the funds come in she recedes them and then passes them on to the Business Office. Betty Ann Scott is another person in Campbell Hall that keeps the college running smoothly. Betty is the Secretary of College Relations. Some of her duties, besides the usual secretarial skills, are keeping up-to-date lists of alumni and contributor's addresses, putting together the College Calendar, and preparing news releases for a wide variety of publications. www 4 PRINT SHOP Are you wondering where all the paper and stationery with Bethel Letterhead come from?

ACADEMIC DEAN Dr. John L. Langfitt awww Q mfiyffwa ww rt' , 5 ,N 1 Q 1 tt. X 31- i 5 Q ' S L3 int Dr. John Langfitt, the Executive Vice-President and the Academic Dean, is not the New kid on the block any longer. If Dr. Langfitt's past four years at Bethel are an example of future years, he will be here a long time. Since his arrival there has been growth and strength in the college in such important areas as higher academic standards, more program options, and more student services. Dr. Langfitt thinks that Bethel is the right place to be at this time in his professional ministry career. Dr. Langfitt's priority, whether at work or play, is learning. He enjoys learning and striving to help other people know the joy of learning. He thinks of himself as a teacher and this role is reflected in his objective to fulfill the college's mission statement of personal growth and cultural enrichment for students. Dr. Langfitt has an A.B. in History from Stanford, a Bachelor's of Divinity from San Francisco Theological Seminary, and a Doctorate of Theology in Biblical Studies from the Graduate Theological. He is also a member of numerous educational and religious organizations such as: Phi Delta Kappa, the American Association of Higher Education, the National Academic Advising Association, the Society of General and Liberal Studies, the Society of Biblical Literature, the American Academy of Religion, and the Catholic Biblical Association. Aside from these Dr. Langfitt is secretary of the McKenzie Fiotary Club and he does supply preaching in the Cumberland Presbyterian church and his own denomination, the Presbyterian Church fU.S.A.i. Jean lvlcKinnie Jean lVlcKinnie is the Secretary to the Academic Dean. Like most secretaries her duties involve such clerical aspects as filing, typing from the dictaphone, answering the phone, making appointments to see the Dean, etc. She combines the stamina of a workhorse with the speed and agility of a gazelle. However, there is humor to be found even in Jean's job, i.e. typing the final copy of the course schedule for the fourth time. Aside from her job as the Dean's Secretary Jean is active in the church and the community. She tries hard to be involved in a variety of activities whether it be a Bethel Dames banquet or a Block Party at McKenzie Square.
