Inside Grove City College

In this episode, we look into IMPACT, which is an outdoor adventure club on campus that is centered around Christ and his creation. We dig into what IMPACT is and what they do on campus and off-campus. GCC junior Evelyn Osmond, who is an active member of IMPACT talks about the group and how amazing it has been throughout her time here on campus.

Dylan Kingan and I, Jayme Santoro, just wanted to give the new generation of Grove City students a little insight into what it's like to date here on campus. It isn't always easy and at times the stereotypes are too real. But at the end of the day, it is so worth it if it means finding the person you are meant to be with. In this podcast episode, we take a deep look into the relationship stereotypes on campus, the pressure the community puts on you as a couple, and how to try to avoid all of that to have a healthy relationship. 

In this podcast episode, I, Jayme Santoro, give just a little crash course on the greek life here at Grove City College. I believe the process can be somewhat long and overwhelming, but it is so rewarding and so worthwhile. In freshman year everyone is searching for a community and place to feel safe and loved, I found that community in my sorority. I know it is different for everyone but I just wanted to shine a light on the process of joining a group and what it looks like from the beginning. 

In this podcast, Peyton and I will be digging into what Greek Life is like at Grove City specifically for men. We go over some questions that you all may be thinking about as you go into your first year of college, and we hope that we could be of some help to clarify what fraternities are like on campus and their role!

Off the Bench is a new Podcast exploring what life is like for college athletes at Grove city college. If you are a prospective student or even just a student that is interested in athletic life on the GCC campus then this is the podcast for you. This first episode is an episode featuring a dual-sport athlete Anthony Tambellini where we discuss his experiences as a baseball and golf player. 

Ethan David (24') interviews the Coordinator of the Disability Services office to help give possible prospective students a look into the workings of the disability services office and the resources it provides students.

Today we have a special episode. We get a chance to sit down and speak with co-host Elizabeth Finnegan. Elizabeth tells us about her college experience as someone who is passionate about travel, politics, and people. She shares about her unique experience as someone who has had an opportunity to form relationships with students and faculty in an intimate and personal way. While many people at a large college or university can get looked over, Elizabeth shares how her professors know her on deeper level and help encourage her to excel and pursue her dreams even outside of the classroom.

On this special episode of the Prospective Perspective, we switch things up a little bit and special guest host Lizzy Higgins and I interview our very own Zach Hanson.

Zach shares lots of funny stories of relationships with his Professors, including how his professors have been involved in his love life. Zach and Lizzy dive into one of the most fun and unique aspect of life at Grove City: the personal relationships students develop with professors. They share some fun, funny, and embarrassing stories about how one professor in particular brought up their relationship in class and the funny conversations that preceded from there.

Zach also shares what it is like being a relationally-driven individual at an academically-rigorous school, and his experience coming to Grove City a semester into freshman year as a transfer student.

We really enjoyed getting to hear about Zach’s story in what brought him to Grove City, his time here, and how prepared he is feeling for the future. Whether you are already committed to attending Grove City or you have no idea if college is the right path for you, Zach’s story is helpful in providing an interesting outlook on finding what next step is right for you.

I hope you enjoy all Zach’s stories just as much as I did.

In today’s episode of the Prospective Perspective, Zach and I sit down with Lizzy Higgins, a Senior Entrepreneurship major here at Grove City College. Lizzy walks us through her experiences abroad, including traveling to 13 different countries throughout Europe and Northern Africa during her junior year here. We get to learn a little bit about how Lizzy was able to travel to so many different places while still a full-time student, and how Grove City was able to aid her in finding the right program where that was a possibility. She shares some fun memories from living abroad with her Grove City friends and breaks down some of the perks of going to a smaller school where you have more personal relationships with professors and faculty. We dive into Lizzy’s experience on campus, from different clubs and groups she participates in, to friendships she has cultivated with her peers and professors.

From the growth in her spiritual life, to her confidence in putting herself out there and taking on leadership roles, Lizzy gives a great picture into how Grove City has helped her be prepared for life after college and what that looks like for her. Tune in to listen to all this and more now.

On this week’s episode of the Prospective Perspective, we are excited to introduce you to Hannah Elder, a senior Accounting major here at Grove City College. Hannah is involved in many different organizations on campus and serves in a variety of leadership roles in those groups. We sit down with Hannah to get to the truth on relationships at Grove City- both friendships and romantic. Hannah gives us a glimpse into her relationship and gives us the breakdown of what relationships look like on campus. She provides an honest take on the pros and cons of dating at Grove City College and shares some words of wisdom as to how to navigate dating at a Christian college. Hannah also walks through Grove City’s different college policies, rules and norms associated with relationships.

Zach and I had such a wonderful time getting to learn about some of the hobbies Hannah has been able to develop while on campus: from wheel throwing and pottery to painting, art and sewing. Hannah also explains why she, a Utah native who grew up going to public schools and was interested in math, decided to move across the county to study Biblical and Religious studies and Accounting at a small Christian college.

I think you’ll be able to tell that we had so much fun getting to sit down and have this conversation with Hannah. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
