In my time at Grove City, I can honestly attest to the caliber of faculty that spans all of the departments. From English to History to Chemistry to Art, I have experienced professors who not only love their classes but also those taking the classes. That is not to say I’ve only experienced the kindness […]

Forefront: In Faith We Create
Recently, creatively-minded Christians have produced art that, while not intentionally bad, speaks only to the redeemed. This movement has managed to appeal to Christians but has altogether remained unappealing to those who do not feel welcome to the church. This does not mean the art is bad; again, I think it has tremendous value to […]
Finding a Church-Home for your Four Years
One of the most overlooked issues of choosing a college is subsequently finding a church to attend. The Grove City area is home to many churches from a variety of denominations. From the point of finding a church, then comes the process of accessing how you fit in to the community. Ideally, any congregation would […]
One Acts: Low Risk, High Reward
According the laws of economics, the higher the risk involved in an investment, the greater you can potentially get out of it… or at least that’s how I understand it as a Communications major and English minor who’s spent most of his time in the theatre over his four years at Grove City College. However, […]
Words from a Commencement Speaker Finalist: A Passion for Washing Feet
Recently I had the honor of being one of six student finalists to speak at the 2017 Commencement. To a little dismay, I was not selected, but I certainly don’t count the chance as a failure or a let down. While I won’t be able to deliver my thoughts to the Class of ’17, I […]

I had the good fortune of securing what my next step […]
The Suitist Challenge: Going Without for Those Without
Every year, a group of seven gentlemen dress-up in three-piece suits and don’t shower. These men also have a formally-written constitution, arrange a photo shoot, and advocate for missions work in Africa. While this may seem like a strange list of attributes, they all describe the gentlemen that call themselves the Suitists. Every year, this […]
Tau Alpha Pi: Theatre Honorary Revitalization
The fall of my sophomore year at Grove City I was inducted into Tau Alpha Pi, or TAP, the theatre honorary on campus. In order to qualify for the honorary, you need to participate in two areas of theatre production, be it acting, directing, crew work, or management, and show a dedication to the department […]
The Power of Theatre: The Process of Performing
Theatre is a wonderful medium that allows the actors to engage directly with the audience, to feed off of the energy in the room, and put on a show that will amaze. This spring Grove City College put on Oliver Goldsmith’s She Stoops to Conquer, a comedy about mistaken identity and true love. I had […]
Student Spotlight: Jake Jastrzembski, Ministry and Mentorship
I’ve been in the Rhos with Jake Jastrzembski for two years now, and I’ve appreciated the opportunity to get to know him. Currently, he serves as our chaplain, and this stems from his desire to serve people. During his time at Grove City, Jake has pursued a degree in Biblical and Religious Studies, eventually aspiring to […]
