Going Green in Beaver County

Great news to report from the Pennsylvania Governor's office!

Beaver County, home to Geneva College, moved to the Green Phase of re-opening last week with the state's least restrictive COVID-19 mitigation procedures. Green also means schools can resume, and we're wasting no time getting ready with on-campus instruction for the fall semester.

We will keep you updated on our plans for face-to-face instruction in the weeks and months ahead.

Virtual Senior Send-Off

The Class of 2020 is invited to join together for a virtual Zoom version of the traditional Senior Send-Off event. Among the people with messages are the senior class committee members, the President of the college, the Alumni Council President, and the keynote speaker as chosen by the class, Dr. Eric Miller. The entire faculty and staff are also invited.

CARES Act Information

The U.S. Government passed the CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund into law to help students and colleges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Geneva College has added important information about these allocated funds on the Geneva.edu website.

Racial Injustice

Geneva responds with a call to prayer and fasting, in a message by Dr. Calvin L. Troup.

Christ calls us faithfully to respond against racial injustice from the heart of our Christian mission. Geneva College stands against racial injustice because we stand with our Lord Jesus Christ, with every violated brother and sister in Christ, with every oppressed neighbor, with every ignored sojourner and neglected foreigner…We must remember that the grief borne today is not new within our African-American communities, but the burden of many generations.
