BEAVER FALLS, Pa. (AP) - Geneva College in western Pennsylvania is set to christen an alumnus and communications professor as the school’s 20th president.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports (https://bit.ly/2dfts0G ) 55-year-old Calvin Troup will be inaugurated Friday as president at Geneva, a private, Christian school in Beaver Falls, about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
Troup has taught at Duquesne (doo-KAYN’) University in Pittsburgh for the last 20 years and taught at Penn State and Indiana University prior to that.
Troup graduated from Blackhawk High School before attending Geneva, where he graduated in 1983. He later earned a doctorate in speech communication from Penn State.
He replaces Bill Edgar, who has been interim president since Kenneth Smith resigned in June for a job at University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, Texas.
