Students Visit Villanova for Special Olympics Opportunity


Philadelphia, PA – Four Geneva College students were invited by the Special Olympics of Pennsylvania to visit the University of Villanova's Fall Festival event,  the largest student lead Special Olympics event in the state on November 3 and 4. The students learned how to manage a similar event in the Beaver County Special Olympics Track and Field Championships, which is hosted at Geneva's Merriman Athletic Complex and has recently become a student-led event.

Maddie Ehko (Junior/Communications Disorders), Sarah Johnson (Freshman/Biology), Miranda Mazza (Junior/Chemical Engineering) and Corinne Alderfer (Junior/ Accounting-Business Major) made the trip.

Ehko said, "This was a great experience we were blessed to have! I am very hopeful that we are able to transform the ideas that we brought back from Villanova to our event."

Alderfer echoed those comments, "We are so grateful to have the opportunity to work with the Special Olympics at Geneva. It provides great satisfaction watching these athletes compete."

The Special Olympics event aligns perfectly with the mission of the College. Moving forward the students at Geneva will work to involve all aspects of campus in the event, which is scheduled for April 26, 2019. Over the next few months, the students will work to build awareness, which includes a call for participation to the college's students, faculty, staff, alumni and to community members. Those interested can send questions to specialolympics@geneva.edu
