(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)

Like his peer in Dr. Jen Cushman–who Matt Drzik spoke to earlier on A.M. Beaver County–Dr. Calvin Troup sees his institution making strides in its connection and developing relationship with Beaver County. The major difference however, lies in its backbone…and Dr. Troup is hoping that such a backbone gets national recognition.

Dr. Troup is the President of Geneva College, and he joined Matt Drzik on the February 21 edition of A.M. Beaver County as part of Beaver County Radio’s celebration of President’s Day 2022. He joined Geneva College as President in 2016, and since then the College Hill campus has continued its mission to offer its students a excelling level of higher education that is faith-based and focuses students on their calling from God in all fields from ministry to engineering. Geneva has also continued to maintain its strengthening relationship with the city of Beaver Falls and Beaver County, through its connection in the “Bridges & Pathways” alliance and partnerships with places like the Beaver County YMCA.

Still, as Troup mentioned in his President’s Day appearance, the college has bigger targets in sight as described by a “Vision Plan” created by the trustees last July. “The heart of this vision is two parts,” Troup said. “The first part is that Geneva would become known nationally for advancing the integration of faith and learning, and that’s something that is really our trademark at Geneva…the second part of our mission is preparing students for courageous engagement throughout their life’s work, in a culture and society that’s going through the kind of chaos and confusion that we see all around us.”
