Student & Alumni Stories

Chelsea Asherson '23
B.S. in Biology/Health

“I particularly chose biology at Grove City College because I wanted a foundation that was rooted in a biblical worldview of science. In addition to being rigorous, my classes have incorporated a deep understanding of creation and a humble focus on God’s sovereignty over the unknown world.” — Blake Baer ’18, B.S. in Biology/Health
