Dear Grove City College Alumni and Friends, With extra emphasis this year, we extend a hearty welcome and welcome home! It is truly our joy to have you on campus this weekend. Being together again will be extra special. Reunion is a major theme of this year’s celebration as Greeks, classes, and organizations mark milestone anniversaries. Many class reunions will be doubly enjoyable as we combine last year’s missed reunions with this year’s corresponding reunions – twice as many memories! Our Wolverine athletes and the marching band are ready to share their talents with you as well. Please stroll our beautiful campus and reminisce. You will notice the renamed Staley Hall of Arts and Letters and the new basketball court on lower campus, the gift of our Senior Class of 2021. We truly are delighted to have you here. We missed you last year. Our extended Grove City College family is another reason why this is such a special place. Blessings,

Paul and Brenda (Millican) McNulty ’80

MEMORIAL

ALuMnI AchIEvEMEnt AwARd –– AND ––

The Grove City College Alumni Association honors seven of its own this weekend who have demonstrated extraordinary achievement in their fields of endeavor and for distinguished service to their alma mater. The 2021 and 2020 Jack Kennedy Memorial Alumni Achievement Award and Distinguished Service Award winners represent a commitment to excellence and service that Grove City College values and the world needs. The 2021 Achievement Award honorees are A. Christopher Bakken ’82, Dr. Brian Pall ’94, and Christine (Bittler ’97) Keener. They will be feted along with the 2020 award winners at a reception on Friday evening. “Exemplary service brings honor to the College. Distinctive success in an individual’s occupational field is worthy of honor and is recognized as an extraordinary commitment to bettering the world around us. This fits into the mission and value system of Grove City College,” declare guidelines approved by the Alumni Council when they established the award in 1964. That first year, the awards went to College icons: Weir C. Ketler ’08, Rev. Paul McConkey ’09, J. Howard Pew ’00, George Southworth ’14, and Robert Thorn ’16. In 1987, the achievement award was renamed in honor of the College’s first alumni secretary and placement officer. Jack Kennedy ’37 served the College as director of alumni relations for many years and had an indelible influence on the lives and future careers of hundreds of Grovers. Additionally, a Distinguished Service Award was created in 1999 to recognize consistent and exceptional service to the College. “The value of Grove City College is in the shared experiences that build a community that endures years and decades beyond the numbers behind our names,” Melissa (Trifaro ’96) MacLeod, senior director of Alumni and College Relations, said. “With nearly 30,000 living members, the Alumni Association is a vital constituency of the Grove City College family. The selection and presentation of the Jack Kennedy Memorial Alumni Achievement Award is a rich tradition, and we are honored to recognize alumni success, achievement, and service to the College.”

Anyone who holds a degree from the College is eligible for the Alumni Achievement Award. The Distinguished Service Award is given for outstanding service to the College and can be given to alumni and friends of the College. Nominations should be submitted to the Office of Alumni and College Relations by Feb. 1, using the form at alumni.gcc.edu/awards.
