Goshen College was brought into being by ordinary people who saw potential and had the courage to develop that potential. By extraordinary leaders who were motivated by their own joy in the work, and also to create something for their community, as it was then and for the generations to come.
For now, as we begin this new year, let’s do our best to serve others above self in any and every way we can and so give witness to the GC core value servant leadership.
Goshen College President James E. Brenneman opened the new school year by encouraging first-year and continuing students to become "servant leaders" in the local community and the wider world.
