WELCOME!

Dear Geneva Alumni & Friends,

We're grateful to God for a good start to our fall semester under moderate COVID-19 protocols. Thanks to you and many other alumni and friends for your active support of the ministry of education here at Geneva!

Homecoming and Family Weekend, Oct. 1-2 is almost here! We look forward to welcoming you all to campus for in-person reunions, campus tours, speakers and lectures, varsity sports, The Genevans, the pancake breakfast and so much more. We'll have plenty of fun activities for future students. And don't forget the Homecoming Parade, our first in ten years.

Please pray for continued protection of our Geneva community members from illness and from other obstacles to our mission of providing excellent, private Christian higher education.

Warmly in Christ,

Calvin L. Troup, PhD,
President
