Posted
McKENZIE (September 20) — Brad Chappell, athletic director for Bethel University, spoke to McKenzie Rotary Club about athletes and the athletic programs at the local university.
 
Chappell said the campus has approximately 750 athletes, which is 60 to 70 percent of the traditional, on-campus student body. Athletes come from 28-32 countries, accounting for approximately 111 international students, and come from 25-30 U.S. states.
 
Over 5,000 visiting athletes and fans come to McKenzie for sports competitions on the Bethel campus each year. 
 
The resident students and student-athletes support the local economy through the purchases of food, fuel, and other essentials.
