Geneva College is excited to welcome over 300 new undergraduate students that have become Golden Tornadoes this fall. While higher education has seen declining enrollment in recent years, we are deeply grateful to see our new student enrollment increase by more than 10%.
Part of our enrollment success and growth is the work of our alumni. We are thankful that over 50% of the incoming class are either Gold & White or Legacy students, meaning they are a direct relative or were referred to Geneva by an alum. Many of Geneva’s alumni stay connected to the college and remain committed to advancing the mission of Geneva. One way our alumni give back is encouraging students in their lives to experience the faith-life integration Geneva offers.
The growth we are experiencing is largely attributed to the dedication of our staff and faculty to the mission of the college to prepare students for lifelong service. The success is a direct reflection of the hard work of the entire campus, the renewed focus on improving enrollment practices, and the fruitfulness of our mission rooted in Christ as king and under scripture.
“We are excited to have welcomed over 300 new undergraduate students to campus this fall. Geneva’s incoming class represent 9 different countries, 27 different states. We are motivated by the growth in new students and look forward to building on this year's growth as we fully launch Geneva’s new brand throughout the coming year. Each one of these students has chosen Geneva as a place to receive their undergraduate education and we are honored that we get to serve them over these coming years.” -Willem de Ruijter, VP of Enrollment and Marketing
Through purposeful learning in a community reflecting the full spectrum of God’s kingdom, a Geneva College experience inspires students to discover a faith-life calling in service to God and neighbor. Our new brand, campus renovations, and strategic plans are all conduits for pursuing the mission of Geneva College, living out our aspirations, and reaching more students with exceptional, purposeful, Christ-centered academics.
Increased enrollment is just one step forward in growth. We are looking forward to the many exciting steps forward that are yet to come.
