A Message from President Calvin L Troup Shared
on Friday, March 12, 2021
I announce with great sadness the death of Geneva College's 18th President, now President emeritus, Dr. John H. "Jack" White, who faithfully served the College as president from 1992-2004. Dr. White first came to the College in 1970 as Dean of Religious Services and Professor of Biblical Studies.
Dr. White went to his eternal reward, a great loss to us. Yet, for Dr. White, who so faithfully testified and taught the Kingdom Gospel of Jesus Christ as pastor, professor, and president, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We will miss him.
Please pray for his wife Mary and for the entire White family as they grieve the loss of Dr. White. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

March Matchness Ends Wednesday!
There are still a few more days to make a contribution to Geneva during March Matchness and double its impact. Geneva's governing boards have been matching—dollar for dollar—every gift given to the COVID-19 Project, Geneva Fund, and/or Geneva Athletic Fund up to a total of $205,000. Together, we can maximize our commitment to an institution where God is at work, raising up a new generation of servant-leaders. We've made great progress thanks to generosity from alumni and friends—help us achieve our goal!
