What is Jubilee? Jubilee is a 3-day conference (February 16-18, 2024) for students who want their college experience to mean more. Jesus Christ changes everything, discover how at Jubilee!
They will worship God and be in community with others. Your child is not alone. They are called to be in community with others. At Jubilee they will experience powerful worship, workshops, and more with others just like them who long for a deeper understanding of what it means to serve Jesus Christ in every area of life.
They will learn where they fit in the Bible’s bigger story. They will engage the narrative of scripture—the goodness of God as Creator and His good creation, the impact of sin entering the world, the redemption through the blood of Jesus, and the restoration of all things being made new—and gain a vision for how the Gospel transforms every area of their life.
They will receive practical knowledge with workshops on faith, vocation, and more (science, business, art, engineering, music, politics). What does it mean for your child to be a Christian in their work field? How does their faith inform their vocation? If God can transform everything, then surely, He can transform every major in every field. Your child will hear from marketplace and thought leaders who are inviting God to work in every area of their lives. Choose from a variety of workshop topics and understand how they can flourish in their calling, vocation, relationships, and more.
They will have the opportunity to explore future opportunities. Is your child unsure of their purpose? Are they wondering what life will be like after college graduation? What if they could gain a vision for their future and the connections to help them get there? They will have the chance to take that next step, explore different opportunities and let the Lord lead from there. There will be possibilities to land an internship, summer job, or post-grad position!

Whether you have already experienced the journey of having a child graduate from college or this is the first time, it is important to remember that just like every child is different, every post-graduation path will also look different.
Regardless of where your student finds themselves in their academic journey, you might observe your student shifting towards independence, especially this time of year, and becoming less reliant on you.
One thing we value highly at Geneva College is getting students engaged outside of the classroom. It is a well agreed fact in Higher Education that typically, the more a student is invested in their college community, the better they perform in classes.
One of the most intimidating aspects of nearing graduation is understanding where to start in determining options and knowing what all the options are. One of the more often overlooked opportunities is a faith-based program called The Fellows Initiative (TFI).
You may not be taking exams or finishing up final papers and projects, but you can choose to have an active role in supporting your student through intense exam periods.
Homesickness is a common struggle for students and can typically last anywhere from 3 weeks to over a year. There are a few supportive steps parents, guardians, and caretakers can engage in when their student is missing home.
Talking to your student about grades and academic success can be challenging! Read some tips from our Director of Student Success about these conversations.
Hear from our Director of Calling & Career about Geneva College's unique relation-building approach to student development and how that impacts our students.
Often parents hear about the challenges and negatives of their student's experience, but getting the full picture can be difficult. Our Director of Residence Life offers some helpful tips to engage in meaningful conversation.
