Geneva College - Alumni FYI Newsletter - April 24, 2020

Welcome!
 

Dear Geneva Alumni,

As we walk through this COVID-19 pandemic, our college community is united in the Spirit even while physically separated. Knowing that you, our faithful alumni, are in this together with us is a comfort from the Lord. We are grateful that you are with us as Geneva people equipped to serve in times like these. We understand that you are providing valuable service to businesses, churches, communities, and families, and to the college.

Your participation in our mission of equipping our students for service is all the more important as we discover innovative ways to do so remotely. In this edition of Alumni FYI, you will find several opportunities to unite with us in this mission. We covet your support through your time, your resources and your prayers.

Warmly in Christ,

Calvin L. Troup, PhD,
President

Alumni Serving Their Communities During COVID-19
We know that many of our alumni are serving their communities well during the pandemic. Now, let’s gather these stories as examples of Geneva people equipped to serve.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
COVID-19 Relief Fund
Geneva has established a relief fund to respond to needs brought on by this pandemic. If God has blessed you in a way that allows you to donate to this opportunity, please participate today.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
End of the Semester
After a whirlwind two-week transition from classroom to online learning in March, Geneva faculty members are preparing students for next week’s last day of classes followed by final exams. Finals Week will be unlike any previous year as students prepare for and take online exams from home rather than at desks and in labs.
