GV magazine Fall 22 2011 honor roll donors

One of the joys of my job is giving campus tours to alumni and friends. And, naturally, those on the tours reminisce about their days on campus and pay a compliment to the recent upgrades. Lately, the reaction to campus changes has been much more dramatic. “I hardly recognize the place.” “Wow, Grand View sure has changed.” “What a difference ten years makes.” Comments like this are quite common around campus and Des Moines these days. Over the last decade, you have read about and seen the changes printed in this magazine. But words and pictures just don’t do it justice. Even those that are relatively close to Grand View are surprised when they see firsthand the transformation that has occurred. The Rasmussen Center had a major impact on campus and the East 14th corridor. The recent construction of the L Apartments, the new green space and the completion of additional parking that opened up views of the Johnson Wellness Center have enhanced the transformation. Add the Memorial Garden near the Humphrey Center and you’ve got quite a list. The donor names on the following pages are largely responsible for that transformation. We are grateful for their support and faith in what we do. Because of their gifts, more students have a quality Grand View experience and graduate truly prepared to make a difference in this world. So I invite you to come back. Come back and experience how Grand View has changed. Whether it’s been six months or 60 years, you’ll not only be surprised, I’m sure you will also be proud of what you see. Any member of the Advancement Team will be happy to give you a tour and share a vision of what’s next. Once again, thank you for your continued support.

Larry Johnson graduated from Grand View in 2007 with a degree in mass communication and an emphasis in photography. His career in the photography industry began almost immediately with an internship assisting staff photographers for Meredith Corporation in Des Moines. After his internship and graduating from GV, he began freelance assisting for a local photographer who frequently shot for Better Homes and Gardens. After five years and starting a family with his wife, Abra (Goff ‘06) Johnson, he decided to make a career change and no longer be self-employed. Although his experiences in commercial photography took him to many great places, he now enjoys more stability. Photography will always remain a joy in his life, but now his photographs are taken mainly of their son, Remy. Nonprofit org.
