About Us

Mission

The mission of the Orientation Office at Bethel University is to transition students into Bethel with the love of Jesus Christ. We hope to meet students where they're at and create an environment of acceptance as they come into our community. We do this by creating events and activities to not only take care of logistics like move-in, financial aid, and registration, but also to help build a support structure that will foster the development of each student academically, socially, and spiritually.

The Orientation Office is part of the Office of Student Life at Bethel University, whose shared mission is "Developing Students for a Life in Christ." We do this in partnership with the organizational Mission and Values of the institution.

The Staff

Welcome Week is made up of 80 sophomores, juniors, and seniors who all have a desire to welcome you to Bethel with the love of Jesus Christ. Check out our staff directory and get to know us a little better.
