Schedule a Time to Pick Up Belongings from Residence Halls
 
We’ve made it, folks. We are now permitted to allow students to schedule a time to return to campus to retrieve belongings left in campus residence halls. We have greatly appreciated your patience as we have been navigating our current realities. You all have been so gracious, and for that we are very grateful. Schedule a time now!

Graduates Can Get Regalia Now!
 
We’re looking forward to welcoming back our graduates to campus for Commencement 2020 – and graduates can order regalia now!

Geneva College is paying for shipping of regalia to our traditional undergraduate students, who would normally have been on campus to pick up their commencement regalia. Regalia can be ordered through the Campus Store website. While shipping will appear to be added on to your bill when you place the order, you will only be charged for the regalia itself; Geneva will be billed directly for all shipping costs.

Due to the current economic conditions, we have extended the due date for May Term/Summer tuition until May 31, 2020. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Student Financial Services at sfs@geneva.edu.

May and Summer at Geneva
By Jeffrey S. Cole, PhD
 
May is one of my favorite times at Geneva College. We celebrate commencement, the trees and flowers are blooming, the grass is a beautiful shade of green, and I have space in my usually hectic schedule to reflect on the past academic year.

Discovering Identity in Times of Crisis
By Richard Talbert, PhD
 
Summer break is here! It’s time to get away from the computer screen and enjoy some sunshine. That depends, of course, if you live someplace where the sun makes an appearance. All of the grades are in, so you’re either crying tears of joy or tears of pain. It’s hard to believe that it has been over 60 days since we last saw each other...
