WELCOME!
Calvin L. Troup
 

Dear Geneva Alumni & Friends,


The college resumed classes this week after Fall Break and mid-term exams. Despite a brief rise in active COVID-19 cases earlier this month, God has provided what we needed to continue to achieve our educational goals and keep students in the classroom.

Our Homecoming celebration was so meaningful. I was grateful to be able to see many of you on campus at the reunions and at various other events, including the first Homecoming parade in many years.

Your continued prayers and support encourage us daily in the ministry of education. Please pray for our students, faculty and staff to stay healthy through the rest of the semester and that God continues to work through Geneva College in the lives of our students.

Warmly in Christ,

Calvin L. Troup, PhD,
President
