Alumni Council

It's Time to Vote!

Each year there are alumni council members whose term limits expire. Those members can accept an opportunity to serve again or decline thereby creating the need for a new member. This year, we are able to welcome two new members to the Council! The entire Alumni Association is presented with opportunity to vote via survey for the members on the ballot. Serving on the Alumni Council is a volunteer position. The individuals listed below have been fully vetted by the Alumni Council and are recommended for selection from the Alumni Association for a three-year term.

The vacancies for members whose terms expired included class years from the 60s/70s and mid-2000s. Because we strive to have a Council that represents an array of graduation years, we’re asking you to choose one alum from each of these decades.

Gold and White Challenge

You may know college-bound students—family and friends—who would be a great fit for Geneva. You also probably know high school age students in your church or neighborhood who would benefit from a Geneva education.

As alumni, when you refer college-bound students to Geneva, you qualify them to receive the gift that only alumni can give, the Gold & White Alumni Grant, a college-funded $4,000 grant. A Gold & White gift starts with support for school and ends with the lifetime value we work to provide through the ministry of education at Geneva College.
