success—as well as the savings resulting from affordable tuition—
proud parents decide to make a very generous gift to the College’s
capital campaign, Grove City Matters. Nicole Cifra ’11 shares her
perspective on why Grove City matters to her and her family.
Hand in Hand
Bill and Joanne McVay, friends and supporters of the College, share
a passion for The Center for Vision & Values and how it continues to
enrich their lives. Together, they are true believers in The Center’s
fundamental position that faith and freedom march hand in hand.
For the Good of All
Ensuring that students have the opportunity to prepare for greatness
without incurring great debt is a long-standing mission of the College.
Tom Haller ’66 provides proof positive that alumni giving can make
a difference in meeting this ongoing priority. The secret to his
success—a tried and tested formula from which we can all learn.
Freedom & Possibilities
For Yvonne (Korloch ’97) English every day is a new adventure. Having
traversed a successful, yet circuitous, path from the financial sector of
corporate America to the broad field of entrepreneurship, Yvonne finds
she’s back where it all started and with good reason. She believes in
making a difference in the world and at Grove City College.

A Walk In The Park
Celebrating his 50th year as professor of German, Herr Harvey Cole
reflects on how his interest in the language was a natural fit for
him. He also shares a bit of advice he actually learned from one
of his students that was, at first, not so much a ‘natural.’
