Grand Valley State University Alumni Association E-News

NOVEMBER 2020

Grand Valley has kicked off its 60th-anniversary celebration! Throughout the academic year, GVSU will be "celebrating the stories untold" and "illuminating the next chapter" of our university. In a season of constant change, it is inspiring to look back at all we've accomplished and to look forward with hope at what's to come.

As part of the celebration, the university is collecting "60 for 60 videos." We're looking for 60 people to share a 60-second story about their experiences at GVSU, or a story about the university.

Learn more and share your GVSU memory. We can't wait to hear your stories!

Director, GVSU Alumni Relations

On November 10th, Alumni Clubs from Detroit, Lansing, Kalamazoo, Chicago, Seattle, Dallas, and Austin will face off for Club v. Club Trivia Night. Live in one of these cities? Represent your club and help bring home the crown!

On October 17, Joan Boand, professor emeritus of physical education and early leader in women's sports, was honored in the Fieldhouse with the unveiling of a wall of champions named for her. Boand came to GVSU in 1966, where she coached the women’s teams for swimming, volleyball, basketball, and track and field. During her time here, Boand became known for her achievements in leading women’s sports.
