Thought I’d share a few of my favorite<br />
memories of Homecoming weekend …<br />
New memories were made—it’s so<br />
fun to see alumni reconnecting.<br />
Who doesn’t love a parade?<br />
Traditions continue—I witnessed three<br />
creekings on Saturday!<br />
MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI RELATIONS<br />
Dear Alumni and Friends,<br />
FAITH AND FREEDOM<br />
T<br />
hese two words are the heart of the education provided at <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. Coupled with our mission of providing a quality, affordable<br />
Christian education, they describe who we are and why we continue to<br />
do what we do at <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Our alumni who span the decades know that one of the lessons taught under<br />
that mission is one of free market economics. That is why when the idea of an<br />
entrepreneurship program, and then later, The Center for <strong>Entrepreneurs</strong>hip<br />
& Innovation was suggested, this made perfect sense. For years, we have been<br />
graduating students who have embraced the idea of being leaders, innovators and<br />
entrepreneurs. This issue of our magazine is an opportunity to share the stories<br />
of some of our more recent graduates who are making a difference through their<br />
entrepreneurial spirit. These alumni are making an impact on this generation and<br />
the next. As I say each time … our alumni simply amaze me!<br />
Homecoming 2012 was another great weekend on campus and one of my<br />
favorite times of year! I hope you enjoy seeing some of the memories shared in<br />
pictures on this page and throughout the magazine. Thousands of people visited<br />
campus again this year to celebrate what matters to them about <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
It was such fun to see the smiles, the laughter and the joy of remembering those<br />
“good old days” and “friendships of a lifetime.” If you missed coming back to<br />
campus, check out alumni.gcc.edu for pictures and other ways to reconnect!<br />
Finally, I’d like to provide a special welcome to our newest Alumni in Residence!<br />
Our freshman class is one of the largest ever and will surely make a difference<br />
on this campus. I can’t wait to see how they make their mark in the life of <strong>Grove</strong><br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Now grab that cup of coffee and enjoy this issue of the GēDunk!<br />
