GENEVA

Making space for big questions on life & faith at the University of Iowa

Who is Geneva?

Founded at the University of Iowa in 1971 by the Rev. Jason Chen, Geneva seeks to makes spaces where students, faculty, and staff at The University of Iowa can ask big questions on life and faith and consider how Christianity uniquely answers such questions.

We cultivate these spaces through dynamic partnerships with faculty, students, campus departments, schools, colleges, campus ministries, and local churches and nonprofits, to provide engaging events with renowned speakers, notable musicians, and interactive groups centered on areas of study and interest.
