Prior to his appointment as president, Elzinga served as the university’s vice president for advancement. He previously served as director of global engagement at Partners Worldwide, following a successful business career.
Elzinga leads Calvin with our shared faith in Christ at the core of what we do: collaborating with campus leaders, listening to students, and nurturing Calvin’s connections with its local and global partners.
