Dear Grove City College Alumni and Friends, On behalf of the entire Grove City College community, we welcome our alumni, parents and friends to the celebrations of Homecoming 2016! We hope you’ll enjoy the many opportunities to reconnect and relive memories with friends and support our student-athletes in their competitions. As Grove City alumni who are celebrating a Greek anniversary milestone, we are especially reminded of the impact the College has had on our lives. Enjoy the time with friends we’re seeing again, the rich memories, and the blessings God has granted though these relationships. This autumn, we welcomed the Class of 2020. Their contributions on our campus to athletics and within their various academic departments are already evident. We extend a warm welcome the parents and families of the Class of 2020 visiting this weekend. If it’s been a few years since your last visit to campus, you’ll notice some physical improvements and changes. As you stroll the campus, please visit the STEM building, completed in 2013, and Rathburn Hall, completed in 2012. Our campus improvements allow Grove City College to continue attracting bright visionary leaders who are eager to contribute, as you have, to the world. We look forward to celebrating with you,

Paul and Brenda (Millican) McNulty ’80
