BEAVER FALLS, Pa. (AP) — Geneva College has picked alumnus and communications professor Calvin Troup as its new president.
Troup currently teaches at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. He'll begin his new job in July at Geneva, a private, Christian school in Beaver Falls, about 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh.
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.
Three of Troup's four daughters have graduated from Geneva, and his youngest is a junior at the school. Troup has served on the school's board of directors for several years.
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.
