Bethel Bea­con Hosts Give­away

MISHAWAKA—"The Bethel Bea­con” will be hold­ing a give­away be­gin­ning on April 22 af­ter stu­dents re­turn from Easter Break and will end on April 26. 

The ‘Uni­ver­sity Give­away’ is a way for “The Bea­con” to give back to its read­ers and to honor Bethel Col­lege as it moves for­ward to Bethel Uni­ver­sity.  

Ac­cord­ing to Eli­jah Kerr, mar­ket­ing man­ager for "The Bethel Bea­con", “Part of the nar­ra­tive is di­rectly con­nected with Bethel Col­lege. As our school tran­si­tions into a Uni­ver­sity, we want to spot­light the good mem­o­ries of “The Bea­con” and the Col­lege as well as look to the fu­ture of our Uni­ver­sity. The give­away con­tains prizes that en­cour­age this theme, along with con­tent that ex­plains our over­all pur­pose for an event like this.”  

Kerr has been work­ing hard to bring at­ten­tion back to “The Bea­con.” He has met with busi­nesses about ad­ver­tis­ing, and he has com­pletely re­done all “The Bea­con’s” so­cial me­dia out­lets. This give­away is the last piece of the puz­zle. 

Kerr said, “The 'U­ni­ver­sity Give­away' is the last piece of our so­cial me­dia cam­paign for Spring 2019. Through­out the past few months, we have been re­vamp­ing our plat­forms (Face­book, In­sta­gram, Twit­ter) to gain more fol­low­ers and view­ers by shar­ing our story with the stu­dent body and fac­ulty. If they [the stu­dents] know our story, then we can con­tinue to share their sto­ries.”        

"The Bea­con" is giv­ing away two prizes. The first prize is rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the fu­ture. The win­ner will re­ceive a cof­fee mug and coast­ers with the Bethel Uni­ver­sity of­fi­cial seal. Along with those prizes, the win­ner will also re­ceive one free week of cof­fee at Suf­fi­cient Grounds for fi­nals week.  

The sec­ond prize pack is rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the past. This in­cludes: a bob­ble head of the Bethel Col­lege Pi­lot mas­cot; two ath­letic key­chain lan­yards; one Bethel Col­lege string back­pack and one Bethel Col­lege wa­ter bot­tle.   

In or­der for a per­son to be en­tered to win these prizes they must be fol­low­ing “The Bea­con” on so­cial me­dia plat­forms; they must tag three peo­ple to the post and they must com­ment #The­Bethel­Bea­con. 

Con­tes­tants will be able to en­ter the give­away through any one of our three plat­forms: In­sta­gram, Face­book and Twit­ter. On April 26, the two win­ners will be cho­sen and they will be able to claim their prizes that day. 

Prized do­nated by the Alumni and Ad­vance­ment of­fices and Suf­fi­cient Grounds.
