Professor of World Literature, Religious Studies and Community Engagement with 27 years of experience is passionate about helping you connect to literature and religious studies!

Professor Benedix was really one of the only teachers that I felt like really cared about her students. She helped us grow our ideas, was never discouraging, and believed in letting us run with our imagination. I mean, how many professors will let you write a paper on famous movie characters and how they fit within certain religious texts? Six years later and I still think about the lessons she taught us!

I graduated DePauw University in 2017, Professor Benedix was a professor and mentor during my four years. She is an elite educator and a better person. She takes pride in her work and cares for her students. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a quality educational experience.

Beth is a phenomenal professor and created one of the best learning spaces I took part in as an undergraduate. Although I majored in STEM, I took two of Beth's classes in literature and they were the highlight of my education at DePauw University. She is kind, intelligent, and passionate about her craft and her students. I can't recommend her enough!

Beth has always been one of my favorite professors. I was always excited to attend her classes and she genuinely cares about students. I learned so much from her and still think about it even so many years later. Top 1% of teachers out there, no doubt about it!

I had a class with Beth that was utterly transformative. In an academic system with rigid structure and formalities, she gave me the space and ability to think creatively about the writing I'm capable of - crossing boundaries and break rules as needed. I'm so grateful I got to learn from her!

As the first college professor of my undergraduate career, Dr. Benedix was everything you could want from an educator. She listens and allows students to learn from each other while guiding discussions and asking difficult questions of the class. Beth created a meaningful, purposeful educational environment, and I am a better person for having been taught by her.

I always loved Beth's passion for teaching! A true educator who cares about her students and their growth!

Beth is an incredibly kind and wise professor. The care she shows for her students and the literature she teaches is unmatched. As a professor, she routinely keeps things interesting by introducing new formats for mastering material. She teaches complex work in a tactful, compelling way. She always pushes her students to think in new ways. I've learned so much from Beth and will be forever grateful for her mentorship.

Beth was my professor at DePauw University - where she was a celebrated English Literature, Religious and World Studies. Beth was always present, thoughtful, and accommodated her students whenever we needed help in and outside of the classroom. I write with the highest recommendation for Beth in that she teaches with a rarity of kindness and knowledge - a combination you don't see often. 10/10 Professor and 10/10 mentor!
