Over the course of its nearly 150-year history, Grove City College has been blessed with leaders committed to the College’s mission. Just 10 people have served as president in that time, with most serving well over a decade. The quality and consistency of those leaders have allowed the College to hold fast to its founding principles across the generations.
Grove City College President Bradley J. Lingo ’00 said returning to campus as the College’s 10th president 25 years after he graduated feels like coming home. “My life was transformed through Grove City College. As a student, I found professors who believed in me and friends who encouraged me in my faith, and I experienced the joy of working hard to pursue excellence in a Christian community. I am honored to return to Grove City and ensure that future generations of students will receive the Christian, conservative, academically excellent, affordable education that profoundly shaped me.”
