Geneva College - Alumni FYI Newsletter - July 17, 2020

Welcome!
 

Dear Geneva Alumni,

Our students really want to come back to campus to live in a community that loves and supports them. We’re encouraged by signs of enthusiasm we’re witnessing from both incoming and returning students. We're thankful for that and getting ready to welcome them in stages in August. We’re thankful for the good work of the Board of Trustees, who for the first time this week, met virtually for all meetings.

Yet, we're in an incredible time of uncertainty. Our new fall scheduled has classes ending before Thanksgiving, but the virus is unpredictable. We’re relying on God to see us through while doing everything we can to ensure safety and high-quality education, whatever comes to pass.

Please continue to pray for our:

  • Policy Group as they prepare campus for a safe opening next month
  • New and returning students getting ready to come back to Geneva
  • Faculty preparing to be academically and pedagogically nimble
  • Alumni out in the world serving faithfully Pro Christo et Patria
Warmly in Christ,

Calvin L. Troup, PhD,
President
