McNulty achieves milestone President begins 10th year at the Grove
Grace Scheller Perspectives Editor
Grove City College’s President Paul J. McNulty ’80 approaches his 10th anniversary as leader of the campus, and with it comes a new chapter for all. On August 18, 2014, former board member and student at Grove City College, McNulty, had begun his first week as the school’s ninth president, succeeding former president Richard Jewell ‘67. While the college had accepted him with open arms, McNulty seemed to have a different perspective of his beginning days. “I was in a world I didn’t know. While I had confidence in myself, applying my leadership skills was so scary. I’ll never forget my first Thursday. I was in the arena with all those families, and I’m supposed to welcome them, but I needed to be welcomed myself!” While his first Thursday may have seemed intimidating, his former experience on Capitol Hill had prepared him for something no one could have predicted. “On Convocation Day, we had an armed robbery nearby and we went into lockdown. I hear a siren at about 7 a.m. and I’m thinking, ‘I know I’m new, but this doesn’t sound

Colläge opens new location Violet Whitmore News Editor
Good news for college student Colläge fans— a new edition to the Colläge Coffee shop enterprise opened this summer near the Grove City Premium Outlets. In addition to its downtown roastery location on Broad Street, the Colläge cafe opened its doors this summer next to Blackout Burger and Third Eye Pies in the strip behind Navarro’s Bar and Grill. Its trendy, rustic look and state-of-the-art equipment mimic the familiar Colläge coziness and quality coffee typical of their Broad Street location. The roastery on Broad Street is open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m.–6 p.m., and the café by the outlets is open from 6:30 a.m.–4 p.m. According to the Collage Coffee Instagram, the menu will still offer all the same coffee drinks and limited kombucha offerings. There are also plans to have an expanded food menu and an in-house bakery. These new editions include baked goods and brunch offerings. Their autumn menu is a particular draw for many,

However, I am not sure how many students will regularly venture to the outlets when we have already have one in walking distance.” Junior Helena Ritenour, for one, loves their seasonal items. “I love Collage’s drink menu, specifically their fall coffee selection. I’m excited for the new location because of their menu expansion. I’ve heard the cinnamon rolls are good and I’m really excited to try them! I think they will be perfect for the chilly fall weather.”

SIC piques student interest Violet Whitmore News Editor
Though Grove City itself may seem desolate at times, Grove City College’s campus never seems to have a dull moment. With so many events and groups to keep track of on campus, the college established the Student Involvement Council (SIC), a group meant to market and promote events happening at the school. Katie Van Dam, Student Life & Learning’s new Director of Student Engagement, is at the head of the SIC. The council is a new organization created this year to enhance student life and satisfaction. “The Student Involvement Council strives to promote community and fellowship amongst the student body,” Van Dam said. “SIC will do this by supporting student clubs and organizations, for example promoting their events to our Instagram and on other media. We also achieve this by planning fun all campus events, such as SIC 3
