Helping Students to Find Their Calling

Grove City College is committed to helping students find their sense of purpose in the working world. In our Christ-centered learning environment, we give them the freedom and experiences to explore their God-given talents. One exciting opportunity is the Bee Project. Students have re-imagined an area of campus into a research garden and aviary. They are exploring the behavior, biology, and value to agriculture of bees with the ultimate goal of connecting veterinarians and beekeepers and serving the larger community as a whole.  

Watch this video to see how each student brings their unique talents and interests to this project. 

Fostering a Welcoming Campus Community

Your thoughtful support ensures that Grove City College’s buildings and community attract and retain students. Our campus offers a place where faith, freedom, and superior academics are integrated. This close-knit family environment is marked by fellowship, service, hospitality, and abiding respect for others as God’s image-bearers. The warm atmosphere of fellowship and friendship is palpable.
