WELCOME!
Calvin L. Troup
 

Dear Geneva Alumni & Friends,


By the grace of God and the support of alumni and friends of Geneva College, we have started another school year with necessary protocols to provide on-campus instruction, athletic contests and student activities. Classes begin Monday, August 30, and new students are already experiencing Welcome Week with upper-level students set to move in this weekend.

We remain vigilant against COVID-19 and its variants while balancing the needs of students, faculty and the community for a quality educational experience. The emergence of the Delta variant of COVID-19 demands that we remain attentive as conditions and regulations change. Please pray that we adjust well as we continue to conduct the ministry of education pro Christo et patria.

We look forward to welcoming visitors to campus for Homecoming & Family Weekend on October 1-2. Please keep Geneva in your plans and in your prayers as the fall semester begins.

Warmly in Christ,

Calvin L. Troup, PhD,
President

The Fall Sports Season Is Here
Geneva plans for a regular fall athletic season with normal team schedules, and, at this point, there will be no restrictions regarding the amount of fans allowed at home events. Our season kicks off on Wednesday, September 1, with men's and women's soccer matches. Most home and away contests will be livestreamed, so please check the athletics website for the most up-to-date schedule and links to the livestream for each game. Go GTs!
