WELCOME TO THE SEPTEMBER 2001 ISSUE OF PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS @ GREENVILLE.EDU
Dear Prospective Students,
Greetings from Greenville College! All of our hearts are heavy this
week with news of the recent
terrorist attacks on our country. We pray that God will use these
events to allow us to grow and
transform each of us for lives of character and service.
Back in Greenville, classes began last week, creating a much livelier
campus. Our new dorm
is completed, and students have already moved into it. All of the
faculty, staff, and
administration are extremely excited about the new year.
I hope you will check out the Scholarship Competitions and Preview
Days that are coming up
throughout the year. It gives you a great chance to visit campus
and interact with students and
faculty.
Enjoy the rest of this issue...and thank you for your continued
interest in Greenville College.
