The Bulletin – Fall/Winter 2020

November 24, 2020

The fall/winter 2020 issue of The Bulletin will arrive in mailboxes in late-November. Look for yours!

ABOUT THE COVER

“Where Everything Connects” (front cover) is at the center of our college’s branding message launched this fall (go to page 18 to read more). For so many alumni this was a place where many of the connections that still matter in their lives — to people, to new ideas, to future vocations, to God — began or were deepened. With people and relationships at the core of “where everything connects” at Goshen, we wanted to introduce you to some of today’s Faces of GC (back cover, photos by Elsie Koop Liechty ’21). Because even in the midst of a pandemic, when masks and six feet of distance are required to keep safe, faces tell us so much about who we are. We hope this is an issue that celebrates all of that, including through the design update of this magazine (while keeping much of what we know you love). We are proudly Goshen and hope you will help us share your pride in this place “where the leafy maple grows” AND “where everything connects.”
