Greg Bellville, a 2007 Truman grad, is currently the Vice President of Mission at Make-A-Wish Iowa. The Make-A-Wish Foundation aims to grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. As Vice President, Bellville plays an important role in advancing the foundation’s goals and encouraging volunteerism. In addition to his service through Make-A-Wish, he has spent time volunteering to coach basketball and football, as well as an interscholastic mountain bike team. Bellville has served on several boards and committees, including the St. Catherine of Siena Parish Council, Central Iowa Trail Association and boards and committees for child abuse prevention.
Bellville studied psychology during his time at Truman, earning his Bachelor of Science. He also spent time involved with Dobson Radio. He received Truman’s Echo 25 in 2023, an award that recognizes 25 outstanding alumni under the age of 40.
Bellville and his family aim to visit all of Iowa’s State Parks and rank them in a database. They enjoy any activity that gets them outside: camping, mountain biking, hiking and snowboarding. He gets much of his motivation from his children. Bellville encourages current and future Bulldogs to never stop trying to improve themselves, and says that leaning into your strengths is a vital part of personal growth.
