Highlight
My name is Shelby Reigstad and a 2000 graduate of the Masters in Communication program at Bethel University. Proud to be originally from Hibbing, Minnesota, I moved to St. Cloud to receive a B.S. degree in Advertising/Public Relations/Marketing. Moving on to the Twin Cities for employment with a company called Concept Group. I continued to work for Concept Group while studying at Bethel. Upon graduation, I began teaching as an adjunct in the evenings at Saint Paul College. I moved to work full-time in education at Saint Paul College in 2005. My move from the field of advertising to education was gradual. Along with my degree from Bethel, my 9 years in advertising were some of the reasons Saint Paul College hired me.
