Fifteen decades of Grover greatness

Grove City College has had a significant impact over the last 150 years – not only on the tens of thousands of students whose lives have been transformed by the lessons learned, relationships formed, and faith fostered on campus, but on a nation and a world that has changed dramatically in that time. That impact has been driven by the people who have made Grove City College what is today.

150 for 150 highlights those who embody a century-and-a-half of Grove City College history, and the excellence and faithfulness that are our hallmarks.

This isn’t a list of the “greatest Grovers” – we think all Grovers are great – but a sampling of the men and women who have made an impact on the College and the world beyond campus over 15 decades. Some are key figures in the College’s story, while others are accomplished alumni, legendary faculty members, or simply beloved members of our College Community. They shaped – and were shaped – by the distinctive character of this special place. They are exemplars of Grove City College’s mission, vision, and values.

The College’s impact has been felt through these individuals across the decades in business, industry, academia, the church, public service, science, medicine, politics, sport, and culture in communities large and small, from our beautiful campus to the rest of the wide world.
