His playing career produced more opportunities to attempt late-game half-court shots than to become a central figure in the rotation, but Goshen gave him something far more consequential: opportunities behind a microphone. He completed college in three years and estimates he worked approximately 300 broadcasts during that time. He studied under professor and mentor Jason Samuel, gained experience through internships, and helped Goshen earn national recognition for its broadcasting program. During Shetler’s junior and final year, New York Knicks owner and Madison Square Garden executive James Dolan helped Goshen students travel to New York for national collegiate broadcasting awards. Shetler interviewed Dolan, and Goshen returned with multiple honors. Its station has been named the country’s best college radio station while competing against much larger institutions.

Goshen College was less than halfway into a $3 million U.S. Department of Education grant in 2025 when President Donald Trump introduced a series of changes both swift and sweeping.

The college says changes in insurance coverage, cost and transportation have created barriers for some students trying to get care. Now, it is adding new local partnerships and virtual options to make those services easier to access.

Some may be navigating insurance on their own for the first time, while others may not have coverage at all. Goshen College Director of Health and Wellness Patty Hartshorn said, "We want to make sure that no matter what choice the student makes, that we can provide equitable care. And the best way that we can do that is partnership with our community resources."
