From the Washington Times (published Feb. 12, 2009):
Last semester, Will Ross, 21, did the unthinkable. He deactivated his Facebook account. His friends began asking what happened to him.
"It was as if I'd disappeared or something," he said.
But Mr. Ross, a senior at Grove City College, in Grove City, Pa., would rather send hand-written letters or escape to a cabin in the woods than keep up with his friends' profile pictures. He joins a growing fragment of college students and professors across the country who are challenging technology trends.
From the Sharon Herald (published Jan. 23, 2009):
Grove City College student Kayla Lynam is representing the Mountain State and with her in Las Vegas to help her win the competition are some friends from VitaStile Hair Designs.
... Miss Lynam, who completed her junior year last May as an entrepreneurship major, is also an exercise science and kickboxing instructor. She won the West Virginia state title in June and has taken the year off from college although she plans to return in the fall.
From the Washington Post (published Nov. 22, 2008):
"I can't recall another situation where there is this kind of interest before the president even takes office in terms of where he is going to go to church, and churches campaigning for his attendance," said Gary Scott Smith, author of "Faith and the Presidency" and a history professor at Grove City College in Pennsylvania. "This is unique in American political history."
From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (published July 10, 2008):
Three years ago, Holland graduated from Butler High. Today, he is the youngest Butler Area School District board member in memory -- at least 40 years, according to Superintendent Edward Fink -- and one of the youngest in the state.
... Still, Holland in many ways is a typical 21-year-old: He lives with his parents. He's in school, majoring in accounting at Grove City College. And he loves sports, especially golf.
From the Cumberland (Md.) Times-News (published June 23, 2008):
Though she has never had professional training and has only competed in three pageants, Miss West Virginia and Short Gap resident Kayla Lynam will soon move on to one of the biggest in the country, Miss America.
... The full year as Miss West Virginia will also delay her graduation from Grove City College, but she is excited to get to tour the state and said the people involved in the pageant have been very helpful.
"God is really surprising," Kayla said, "but I think I have a great year in store for me."
From the Chronicle of Higher Education (published June 13, 2008):
Grove City, with about 2,500 students, may be in a better position than many small colleges, having renounced the federal loan program 12 years ago after the Presbyterian institution waged a court battle over its right to set its curriculum free of government interference.
The college has held down its price, which will be $18,514 this coming academic year for tuition, fees, and room and board, compared with an average of $32,307 charged by private four-year colleges this past academic year. Meanwhile, Mr. Ball said, the college has arranged private student loans through a prominent local bank and built a nationally ranked career-placement office.
