WELCOME TO THE MAY 2002 ISSUE OF PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS @ GREENVILLE.EDU

Dear Prospective Students,

Greetings from Greenville College! In just a few short schedule-filled days, we will wrap up
the 2001-2002 school year with our commencement weekend. It all starts Saturday morning
with the Ivy Cutting ceremony and concludes Sunday afternoon with commencement. We
invite you to come and experience it first hand.

In addition to this excitement, our athletic programs have great news. The men's track and field
team recently won their second NCCAA national championship of the year with their win in the
outdoor championships. They won the indoor national championship earlier this year. Our
baseball team is currently participating in the NCCAA national baseball tournament for the second straight year, and our football team has a new head coach.

Students interested in coming this fall will be excited to find out that we've put together
FINANCIAL AID PACKAGES for students who have been accepted. If you haven't yet received your financial aid award letter, contact your Admissions Counselor to find out what additional information we need from you.

Enjoy the rest of this issue...and thank you for your continued interest in Greenville College.

GC NEWS: GC RECEIVES LARGEST GIFT EVER OF $2 MILLION
http://www.greenville.edu/publications/news/donation302nr.shtml

Soon after Dr. Karen Longman came to Greenville College as Vice President for Academic
Affairs in 1999, she and a small circle of friends began praying a simple but audacious prayer:
that God would send a $1 million gift to the college from "out of the blue." That prayer was
answered, and then some, March 14 when GC President James Mannoia received a check
in the mail for $2 million.
