160 MINUTES OF THE 1997 SYNOD OF THE The College has received a commitment letter from Century National Bank for a loan of 5.6 million dollars to fund a running track, computer connections and telephone upgrade, a new academic building, and the purchase of 38th Street School apartment building. Pending Board of Trustees' approval, work could begin later this summer. The New Era Foundation legal appeal process continues to move along slowly. A committee of the Board Of Trustees has worked diligently on minor changes to the Foundational Concepts. The Corporators have affirmed these after making one additional change. One Corporator registered a dissenting vote. Last year the College ended with a balanced budget and is hopeful of a modest surplus this year. A new accounting procedure is being required of all colleges and universities by 1998 (FAS 117). It requires accounting for depreciation which has not been done before. This will provide unique challenges for the future. Mr. Tim Russell, Chaplain at the College, gave us an encouraging review of his first year. He expressed great excitement with the response of the Geneva community and especially the student body toward his new role. Mr. Russell also answered questions concerning the school's drama production of Godspell. Mr. Cliff Glovier, Director of Donor Development, outlined details of a 20 million dollar capital campaign which will be announced in the near future. The Corporators continue to receive a monthly news report from Dr. White and the school newspaper. These give helpful information which keep the Board current on things happening at the college. A possible Joint Trustee/Corporator Meeting is being considered for the end of January. The following persons were elected by the Corporators: To the Board of Trustees - Class of 2000 Representing the RPCNA: Joseph Lamont, Robert McFarland, Kathy Schmidt, Jewel Thompson-Chin Ken Orr was elected to fillthe unexpired term of Gayle Copeland. He will be Class of 1997.

REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH OF NORTH AMERICA 161 Recommendation: 1. That the Report of the Board of Trustees be received. Respectfully submitted, Robert Baumgartner Secretary REPORT OF THE GENEVA COLLEGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO THE BOARD OF CORPORATORS May 24, 1996 At the end of another academic year, the Board of Trustees looks back with a sense of humble gratitude for God's faithfulness in providing for Geneva College in every way. God has blessed the College richly in terms of its personnel, students, their parents, faculty, staff, and administration. He has also provided physical and material needs along with the challenges of continuing to use those gifts in ways that honor Him in the development of servant leaders. The following report will highlight some of the particular ways in which the Lord has blessed during the past year. ACADEMIC/ADMINISTRATIVE AREAS In December, 1995, the College received a letter of commendation from the Middle States Association for its Periodic Review Report with no current follow-up required. The Administration is already beginning the process of preparing for the next full evaluation by Middle States which will take place in 1998, coinciding with Geneva's sesquicentennial. Earlier in the year, the College officers received word that Geneva's Engineering program had received accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The first class of the new Master of Science in Organizational Leadership program got under way in February. The program, under the leadership of Dr. James Dittmar, uses a cohort method similar to the present Degree Completion Program. The College is planning to expand the offering of the DCP to the Johnstown area. The Center for Law and Public Policy has had an active year of student and campus-wide programs. Brad Jacob, Director of Operations, has recently been elected to the Board of the National Association of Evangelicals. During most of its 1995-1996 meetings the Board has worked on a proposed editorial revision of the Foundational Concepts. The Board was pleased to come to consensus and approve the publication of the revised document at its January meeting. None of the doctrinal or philosophical concepts have been changed. An example of change would be when the document refers to students and faculty it uses the first and third person plural to better reflect the inclusive nature of our campus and the larger Kingdom of God.
