G bigger and better

This fall Eastvale Hill will once again blaze with a symbol of Geneva spirit. The college's grounds crew is continuing its work to restore the G on the hill, located across the Beaver River adjacent to the football field.

Workers stripped away brush to create a clearing 30 feet wide and 50 feet high, which they smoothed and covered with a black tarp. The crew hauled 90 square patio bricks up the hillside, lowering them to down to the site with ropes and anchoring them to the ground with steel rods. President Kenneth A. Smith helped lay the first several stones for the project, which took two days to complete.

The new G measures 20 feet wide and 40 feet high, three times larger than the old version. In the past students frequently scaled the hill to reconfigure the G, which was built in 1925 of loose whitewashed stones. It's taken the form of a smiley face, an exclamation point, and a dollar sign, among others. <Slide Show>

...PRAY FOR EACH OTHER..."

James 5:16

This summer the college has several campus improvement projects underway, while hundreds of visitors of all ages are participating in athletic camps and other conferences in Geneva's facilities. We ask you to pray for everyone's safety, including construction workers, the campus community, and visitors. Pray also that we maintain our patience as we deal with the minor obstructions to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Join us in thanking God for the resources and vision to make these improvements.

The institutional advancement office prays every week for alumni and friends of the college. We welcome your prayer requests.

We thank the Lord for His continual blessing on our students, faculty and staff.
