[edit] Motto

According to the Fall 2003 issue of Geneva Magazine, the college's motto remains the Latin phrase Pro Christo et Patria. "Wholehearted" and "Your life. Make it new," are, in VP of Institutional Advancement Sam Siple's words, "taglines" in part of a college-wide marketing effort to "unify Geneva's communications." --Jemiller226 07:07, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Athletics

I've heard rumblings that Geneva may make a move to NCAA D-III and, accordingly, stop awarding athletics scholarships. I haven't personally spoken to Athletic Director Geno DeMarco personally, though, so I'm just tossing this up on the talk page in case someone else sees it and knows more than I do. --Jemiller226 07:16, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ban Travis York

I heard that Travis York is becoming the coach of an all stars girls little league team this year. He should be put on the notable attendes because of this.150.134.190.102 12:40, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Ban Travis York from adding himself to the alumni listing. He is not important. This is vandalism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.106.151.148 (talk) 00:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

I don't know about the second time that he was added, but the first time it was a friend of mine, a fellow student. I expect whoever added him was also the same person who added my name but removed it after a few minutes. Nyttend 04:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Notable Alumni

I would like to add Dr. Walt Mueller and/or Dr. Steve Garber to the notable alumni page. I am hoping for an honest, thoughtful and respectful conversation about this. It seems this is the proper starting point for doing this and I should have done this before making any edits. First, does anyone have a specific/detailed reason why these academics do not qualify? I have read the guidelines for adding notables to an article and I interpret from my reading that these two men qualify. Respectfully. Bmstephany 04:12, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

I think Mueller is worth adding. Garber is as well, but has no Wiki page of his own. Maybe--in his case--that should be the first step? WordsAmp 20:14, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adding Notable Alumni part II

Again, I would like to generate a discussion about adding individuals to the notable alumni section of the article. I would like to handle this with civility and respect before having to go to Wikipedia: Third Opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmstephany (talk • contribs) 17:44, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Student Life Section

I think it would be appropriate to add a Student Life section to this page which could include sub-headings of: athletics, clubs, culture and traditions, etc. Anyone have any thoughts/objections before I make a major edit?Bmstephany (talk) 14:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Anyone have any sources? Nyttend (talk) 17:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

What type of sources are necessary for this kind of edit?Bmstephany (talk) 11:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Here is my source(s). You will notice under section 3 titled Article Structure that Student Life is a part of the general format for colleges and universities. It should also be noted that the Notable alumni or attendees list on the Geneva College page does not adhere to WikiProject Universities standards (also under section 3 Article Structure.

That's not what I meant: I meant any reliable sources for student life. I'm not objecting to the idea of such a section; it seems like a good thing. I don't know what would be a good source; colleges aren't my specialty with editing. Nyttend (talk) 13:10, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I will look into it. My initial thought is the college website although that is not a third-party source. However, the college website is the most frequently used source on the current Geneva College page. Either way, if I find valid sources for student life I will then move forward. Otherwise I will leave it as is.Bmstephany (talk) 21:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
