The faculty at Geneva College make all the difference. The faculty at Geneva truly are unique. 校友们经常说，他们所受教育最深刻的部分是由于与一位教员的私人关系. Often, 一个学生最深刻的学习发生在教师们花时间在课堂之外或者做他们需要做的事情的时候, to meet a student where they are. Each of these faculty members, along with many others, dedicates a deep commitment to Geneva’s mission of education, academic and scholarly excellence, advancement of their fields, and an unwavering care for their students. We are thankful for the hard work and talent of our faculty.
