Com­muters Got Tal­ent Show Comes to Bethel

MISHAWAKA- Bethel’s com­muters are host­ing a Com­muters Got Tal­ent Show on Nov. 18 from 5-7 p.m. in the Kelly Au­di­to­rium. This is an event for com­muters to show off their tal­ents, whether that be singing, a skit, or any­thing of that sort. The event will be judged by RJ Jen­nings, as­so­ci­ate di­rec­tor of coun­sel­ing ser­vices; Tom Car­pen­ter, as­so­ci­ate di­rec­tor for com­mu­nity life; and Pres­i­dent Barb Belle­feuille, Ed.D. 

Kadie Mar­tin, one of the com­muter as­sis­tants, is help­ing plan the event. 

“It’s a semi-big event just let­ting com­muters do what­ever thing they think is cool and fun,” Mar­tin said. “Some can win prizes and just have a good time in gen­eral.” 

The first place price is $100 cash, and pos­si­bil­i­ties for sec­ond and third place prizes in­clude ex­tra meal swipes or a gas card. 

“To my knowl­edge we never had any­thing like this,” Mar­tin said. “So this is the pre­miere of it.” 

Every­one is en­cour­aged to at­tend the event. Also, any­one on cam­pus is al­lowed to join in the tal­ent show if they have a com­muter in their group—signups close on Wednes­day, Nov. 16, at noon. 

“We would love for res­i­dents to come any­ways even if they are not in an act,” Mar­tin said. “It’s re­ally just a great event, I think, to fos­ter com­mu­nity within com­muters and have res­i­dents join in on our fun.”
