As implementation of this he is starting the Bethel College Admissions Council. This will also help the applicationfenrollment rate.

Aside from Terry's duties as Admissions Director he likes to jog and cook Chinese food. He also holds a brown belt in karate and would like to see a karate class started on campus, if not actually teach it himself. Among other reactions to Bethel Terry is impressed not only with the helpfulness of the Faculty, i.e. on Registration Day, but he is impressed with the caliber of the students he has come in contact with. He appreciates the fact that some students will not commit themselves to more activities than they can handle. Admissions Counselors.

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?
