GU Stories

Came as a kid, left as a man

Santiago Alzate • 2023 • Secondary Education Physical Education

The Greenville men’s soccer program has changed my life forever. I came to this school as a kid, and I’m now proud to say I’m leaving as a man. My four years here have been filled with ups and downs.

Called to give the GU experience to others

Dana Smith • 2020 • Residence Director Hood and Mannoia Halls

Dana Smith came to GU as a non-traditional student. She wasn't sure why God landed her here - a little older than most of the women on her floor, but she figured she was here for a reason.

Forever changed, forever grateful

Sonya Jones • 1996 • Professor of Sport and Kinesiology

Greenville is where I set my foundation for all that life would throw at me in future years. Greenville is where my life changed forever so I’m forever grateful for Greenville University.

Positioned for growth

Nicholas Morrow • NFL Linebacker, Philadelphia Eagles • Former Greenville Panther Linebacker

My experience here propelled me to a life I never thought I’d have. This university and this city are near and dear to my heart, because I did a lot of growing here.
