Student FYI Newsletter

Geneva College - Alumni FYI Newsletter - April 9, 2020

Welcome!

Dear Geneva Alumni,

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world overnight. Because alumni are a vital part of our community, we want to let you know what’s going on at Geneva during this challenging time. We will be updating you on what’s happening at the College on a bi-weekly basis through the Alumni FYI.

As Geneva people, we continue to focus together on the ministry of education under Christ and His word, remembering His faithfulness and goodness during trying times like these. We’re grateful for your partnership in supporting our students, faculty, and staff through your generous gifts, care, and prayers.

May the Lord bless you and keep you and yours throughout our current distresses!

Warmly in Christ,

Calvin L. Troup, PhD,
President

From Around Campus

Following the mandate of the Governor of Pennsylvania and in order to slow the progression of COVID-19, the campus of Geneva College is closed. Unlike any time that any of us can remember, for weeks Geneva College has remained without students, faculty and staff on the pathways, hallways and rooms across campus.

Just because they are not on campus, doesn’t mean that students, faculty and staff are taking it easy. They have transitioned to online education and are busier than ever. They’ve discovered that the virtual environment is demanding and have accepted the challenges of the ministry of education conducted on a remote basis.

"My professors have been great about transitioning from classroom to online education – and keeping God at the center of all that is happening and all that we do. Without your support, this valuable education at this critical time would not be possible. Thank you!"
-Angelia ’22
