Carolyn (Metcalfe '62) Mollenkopf (1940-2023)

Carolyn didn't originally intend on attending Geneva College, but she's certainly glad she did. Though she initially had different plans, when she came to visit she realized, "Oh! I like it here! I had a wonderful time and felt very comfortable on campus."

Following her time at Geneva, Carolyn received advanced degrees from three different colleges. But the connection just wasn't the same. "I never felt that any of those schools was my school," she explains. "My heart has always been with Geneva."

And her heart led her to reconnect with the Geneva community in a big way. She attends women's volleyball and football games often and loves to chaperone for the Genevans and New Song music ministry tours. As the daughter of an engineer and mother of two more, she also supports student engineering competition teams. In addition, she is an active member of the Alumni Council.

"The rewards that I have received as a result of being able to give to Geneva, both in time and financially, have been much greater than my giving," says Carolyn. "Being involved with the students has been very rewarding and great fun."

Carolyn has also made a long-term commitment to support Christian education by including Geneva in her will. "Planned Giving is a way to insure that my wishes and beliefs about giving back the blessings that God has provided are shared as I would desire, and provides another way to share in the future of Geneva College."
