  • Graduate Profiles Grand Valley State University Class of Winter 2020 and Summer 2020
    Graduate Profiles Grand Valley State University Class of Winter 2020 and Summer 2020 “Live. Learn. Lead.” This is the motto of the Frederick Meijer Honors College. It was adopted because it describes what Honors students do. Even a cursory glance through the profiles of the graduates included in this booklet will confirm this. Honors students are accomplished scholars and extraordinary leaders, and they contribute to a remarkable array of fields. They are also global citizens, as is demonstrated by how many of them have studied abroad, have been involved in service activities and organizations, and plan to devote themselves to the public good in their professional and personal lives. Given their successes and contributions, there is no questions that these graduates will go on to do even greater things. Few of the graduates will say that it has been easy to get to this point – they have been challenged and tested along the way. It takes exceptional motivation, persistence, and achievement to graduate in good standing in the Meijer Honors College. Graduates, it is with great pleasure and pride that we congratulate and commend you upon your graduation. We are privileged to have played a role in your education, delighted by your triumphs, and eager to hear about your future successes. Please stay in touch and let us know where you go and what you do. With our esteem and best wishes for your future, The Frederik Meijer Office of Fellowships part of the Frederik Meijer Honors College, commends you on completing your undergraduate studies at Grand Valley State University.

  • Wealth and Influence at GVSU
    What’s in a Name: A Popular Guide to Wealth & Influence at GVSU Why a Guide on Wealth & Influence at GVSU? A few years ago there was a brief opening prompted by some students and faculty to have a discussion about the influence that wealthy donors to GVSU have on the climate at that campus. An article appeared in the student newspaper, The Lanthorn, which generated a significant amount of discussion and an interesting reaction from the administration. GVSU administrators made it clear to students who dared to question the influence that wealthy donors have on campus by telling them to shut up.! Professor Michael Ott wrote to The Lanthorn in response to the issue and articulated the fundamental problem with “corporate donations” to GVSU. “The concern and problem of universities courting corporate donations as a means for their continuance and growth, not only here at GVSU but on campuses across the nation, is historically grounded, particularly in the recent experience of the wealthy and powerful corporate elite’s reconstructing not only the economy but also the supposedly independent realm of politics into a means of furthering and legitimating their own agenda and culture as the national norm.” ! The purpose of this guide is to not only point out the number of wealthy donors to GVSU, but to shed some light on who these people are, what they stand for and how they are influencing policy and practice at GVSU.! Those who have economic power do not donate merely to have their names plastered on the front of buildings, rather the contribution is a way to influence outcomes of institutions like GVSU.
