Congratulations Threshers!
Each year an Awards Committee of the Alumni Association bestows Young Alumnus, Outstanding Alumnus and Distinguished Achievement Awards on select graduates. The awards have been given since 1960.
Distinguished Achievement Award:
Keith Ratzlaff, Pella, Iowa, is the 2023 recipient of Bethel College’s Distinguished Achievement Award, which acknowledges character and citizenship, achievement in a chosen profession or vocation, and work of benefit to humanity. Ratzlaff spent his entire career teaching undergraduates at a small, private college and still made time to write and publish poetry.
