Honoring the President Emeritus
Dr. William Spoelhof served Calvin University for 30 years as a professor of history and then as university president. His faithful work, his determination, and his vision for the university shaped the Calvin we know and love today.
The William Spoelhof Society was established in 2001 to recognize those alumni and friends who have committed to carrying forward Calvin's mission through their planned gifts to the university.
