After 72 years of serving Bethel College, the Beacon has told many stories about news on and off campus. But now we are celebrating something different 🥳


As our school transitions from a College to a University, we wanted to remember the good times and celebrate this change by giving away prizes! .

Today we are giving away 1 Coffee Mug, 2 Coasters, and 1 free week of coffee to one lucky winner to celebrate our new name


Tomorrow we will announce another prize in remembering the 72 years as a college


This Friday both winners will be announced! Same rules apply to both prizes. Good luck, Go Pilots!

Happy Easter!🐣 We hope you have a fun & restful break. Also, let's take a minute to get to know Sumer Schindler!

Why are you passionate about journalism?
I like the idea of being able to inform the public of current events, and I also enjoyed the challenges it brings to me as a writer.

What do you enjoy most about writing for the Beacon?
The fact that I get to meet so many people while chasing down stories. I'm a naturally curious person, so writing for the Beacon is always exciting.

What do you like to do in your free time?
I love reading, playing volleyball, photography, camping, and exploring new places. I'm also a coffee addict and movie enthusiast.☕🎥

Allison Coffeen, managing editor of the Beacon, is our "Writer of the Week"! Get to know her better:

What brought you to Bethel?

I came to Bethel for a few reasons: it was close to home, campus was beautiful, and the chapel speaker was moving. I was also planning to walk on to the soccer team, but instead I joined the lacrosse team and never looked back. I am currently pursuing an English major.

Why are you passionate about journalism?

I love being the first one to know the story and I love being able to share that story with others. Journalism gives you the opportunity to shape and mold a story however you think it should go.

What are your hobbies?

In the rare weekends I have off, I like to hike, cook, fish, and plan trips. I also love walking my dog, reading, and playing video games.
