Cam­pus Safety Of­fi­cer Pro­file: Dawn Mof­fett

 -  -  74


MISHAWAKA, IND.--Cam­pus Safety of­fi­cers are con­stantly on the look­out to keep us safe or help us out. They pa­trol around cam­pus, help stu­dents who lock them­selves out of their own cars and even of­fer “lost and found” ser­vices. They are al­ways ready to help a stu­dent in need. And though they some­times seem like su­per­heroes, they are also real peo­ple with real lives. 

Dawn Pease Mof­fett is a Cam­pus Safety of­fi­cer here at Bethel. She is go­ing on her third year work­ing for Cam­pus Safety and she is very pas­sion­ate about her work. Mof­fet­t’s du­ties as an of­fi­cer con­sist of pa­trolling around cam­pus, an­swer­ing cam­pus safety phone calls, help­ing stu­dents out when needed, and she has many more oblig­a­tions.  

Moffett is originally from Berrien Springs, Michigan. She has a very complicated history and is currently taking classes at Bethel while working as a campus safety officer.   Her drive as an officer stems from her desire to help encourage young adults to not only live as good citizens but live in a way that honors God. Moffett loves having the ability to connect with college students and to be able to develop personal relationships with individuals.   “‘Romans 12: 9-13 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.’”  “I was considering the message of why I love working here and serving the Bethel community. This verse captures the message I try to live by serving others with love, patience and understanding. Serving others with a greater purpose than the task at hand,” said Moffett.  Dawn Moffett is someone who loves talking to students and encouraging them to live in a way that honors God.
