GC on NBC: TODAY Show Features GC Growth |

 Greenville College made its second official appearance on NBC's TODAY Show last December. TODAY featured GC in a story about enrollment growth at Christian colleges across the nation. In 1992 Greenville College welcomed TODAY's Willard Scott to campus in celebration of the college's 100th year.
Michael Ritter, GC director of Admissions, attributes this national
trend to the current collegebound generation's desire to stay closer to
home and more connected with their family, community and, essentially,
their roots. "Students want to find a college that's not just
geographically closer, but also closer in terms of values," said
Ritter. "I also think more people realize you don’t have to sacrifice
academic quality to attend a Christian college, and I think that is one
of the big reasons that we are growing."
In recognition of this trend
for students to stay closer to home, the GC Admissions Office now
focuses their recruiting resources on a 100-200 mile radius of
Greenville. In addition, two of six Admissions counselors attend to the
specific needs of transfer students.
