Right out of college I felt empowered in ways my colleagues did not. Grove City College gave me a holistic perspective on things – something many of my colleagues lacked, despite their having attended more “liberal” colleges.

I was challenged at Grove City College to think about my faith more deeply. This came from professors, friends, and other mentors around campus.
