Geneva College - Alumni & Friends FYI Newsletter - May 7, 2021

Welcome!
Calvin L. Troup
 

Dear Geneva Alumni,


We will officially confer degrees on Geneva College graduates during in-person ceremonies on Saturday, May 8 and Monday, May 10. The live commencements and May 9 baccalaureate are milestone events in this long period of pandemic conditions. I am deeply grateful for God’s provision for our campus community and His guidance through a full academic year of face-to-face, life-on-life instruction.

Your partnership with Geneva College helped make good things possible. Your role as alumni serves a vital purpose for our new graduates as you welcome them into your ranks, pray for and support them, and connect them with opportunities to follow God’s calling into their life’s work.

Thank you for standing with students by standing with us. May the work of their hands and of yours continue to produce good fruit for God’s glory.

Warmly in Christ,

Calvin L. Troup, PhD,
President
