It is with deep sadness that we share the unexpected passing of Dr. Charles Fox, beloved husband of President Laura Crawley and First Gentleman of Bethany College.

Dr. Fox was a cherished member of the Bethany community, teaching Bethany Quest and interdisciplinary studies, and volunteering as a men’s soccer coach. He touched the lives of many through his kindness, service, and dedication to our students.

During this difficult time, we ask for privacy for President Crawley and her family as we hold them in our thoughts and prayers.

We will share service information when it becomes available. If you would like to share your condolences or memories of Dr. Fox, we invite you to do so in the comments or at: http://www.bethanylb.edu/remember

One of the absolute best parts about traveling across Kansas to recruit our future students? Catching up with alumni along the way! 🌻🚗 Admissions loved running into Sara Oberle, Class of '92, while visiting Ellsworth, KS. It’s always a great day when we get to see our grads thriving in every corner of the Sunflower State!

Have you ever heard of a campus visit with Waffle people? 🧇🤔 We didn't think so!

If you know a student on the hunt for their future college home, tell them to register for Våffeldagen at Bethany! It’s the perfect way to get a taste of campus life (literally).
