2007 Season Outlook
Head Coach Deanne Scanlon comments on the upcoming 2007 season
EXPECTATIONS FOR THE SEASON
OTHER KEY PLAYERS
Grand Valley State’s volleyball team has had a lot of
success over the last decade, advancing to the Great
Lakes Region Tournament in each of the last seven
years. With the success the program has had comes high
expectations at the beginning of each season. With the
start of the 2007 season set to begin, Lakers’ head coach
Deanne Scanlon has high expectations for this year as
well.
“This group of girls has a lot of talent and I have high
expectations for them this season,” said Scanlon. “This
is probably one of the deepest teams I have had since I
started coaching here.”
“We have a good blend of athletes this season. The
upper classmen have a lot of experience and the underclassmen have a lot of physical talent,” added Scanlon.
“If all of the girls can play together as a team and up to
their potential, we have a chance to have a really special
season this year.”
This year’s squad has just four juniors, but all of
them will be look to for different roles this season. AllGLIAC Second Team honoree, setter Jamie Ashmore
has earned the starting spot in the middle and will be
called on for leadership on the court. Middle blocker
Danielle Alexander saw significant playing time in a
break-through season last year and will once again be on
the receiving end of many of Ashmore’s sets. Outside
hitter Lauren Reber earned GLIAC Player of the Week
honors last season and the team will look for both her
and setter Megan Walling to contribute to the team again
this season.
“Jamie and Danielle saw significant playing time last
season and our coaching staff has high expectations for
both of them again this year,” said Scanlon. “We will
need Lauren and Megan to step up and play the different
roles we need them to.”
There are also four sophomores and two redshirt
freshmen on the 2007 team. According to Scanlon this
group has always had a ton of energy, both as individuals and as a group.
“This class was recruited because of how much talent they have,” said Scanlon. “They have matured since
they have been here and have physically taken their
game to another level.”
“We moved Kaity Gormley to an outside hitter and
she is someone we can get the ball to all of the time,”
added Scanlon. “We have always had strong athletes in
the middle and now with the power and athleticism of
Kaity we can have balance in our outside game as well.”
THE SENIOR CLASS
The 2007 senior class only consists of two players,
but they both have a lot of playing experience and leadership ability. Libero Allyson Riley earned AVCA
Division II All-American, Daktronics Great Lakes
Region First Team and All-GLIAC First Team honors
last season. Riley has also been named the GLIAC
Libero of the Year for the past two seasons. Middle
blocker Erica Vandekopple was an All-GLIAC
Honorable Mention honoree last season. Both studentathletes know what it takes to be successful as they
played on the 2005 NCAA Division II National
Championship squad.
“Every great team that has been successful has had
great leadership and Allyson and Erica can provide that
this year,” said Scanlon. “We have a lot of underclassmen on this team, so they will need to be empathetic
towards the younger girls.”
“However, they have both been in the program for
five years and understand what it takes to be successful,”
added Scanlon. “They both have great work ethics and
a lot of experience in the program.”
“Erica will be called upon to be the vocal leader of
the team, whereas Allyson is more laid back and is the
listener of the team, the one the girls go to when they
need someone to talk to,” said Scanlon. “Both are very
vital parts to the success of our team.”

2007 Media Guide
THE FRESHMEN
The bulk of the team this season consists of six true
freshmen and a transfer redshirt freshman. However,
just because they are younger does not mean they are
any less important to the success of the team.
“The freshmen class is very athletic and experienced,” said Scanlon. “The girls have all played not just
high school volleyball, but on club teams as well. Most
of them have also played numerous positions as well,
which will be very helpful in our system.”
“The girls have a big adjustment ahead of them
because college volleyball is faster and more physical,
but I believe this group of girls definitely has the potential to help our team be successful.”

2006 Review
As the defending National Champions, Grand Valley State
knew it had a target on its back heading into the 2006 season. The
Lakers entered the season ranked #1 in the AVCA Preseason Coaches
Poll. Although, GVSU fell short of defending its title, the Lakers tallied a 27-4 overall record and made its seventh straight Great Lakes
Region Tournament appearance.
GVSU started off the season by playing four matches in the
Florida Southern Invitational in Lakeland, Fla. The Lakers tallied a
3-1 record in the tournament, dropping
their first match, 3-2, to Southwest
Minnesota State. GVSU then went on to
beat Florida Southern, 3-2, and sweep both
Texas Woman’s University and Angelo
State, 3-0.
The Lakers continued their winning streak at the Ashland Invitational as
they won four straight matches. Grand
Valley defeated Indianapolis and North
Alabama, 3-0 in the first day of the tournament, followed by 3-0 sweeps of Northern
Kentucky
and
Southern
Illinois
Edwardsville on day two.
Following the two tournaments,
GVSU opened GLIAC play with two
matches at home. The Lakers started off
conference action with a 3-0 win against
Saginaw Valley State and a 3-1 victory
over Northwood. Grand Valley then hit the
road for a five-match stint. The Lakers
started the trip off by defeating Findlay, 31 and then won a tough 3-2 battle with
Ashland. GVSU won game one, 30-18 and
Ashland picked up a 30-26 game two victory. The Lakers won game three, 30-19, but
the Eagles tied the match with a 30-28
game four win. Grand Valley sealed the
victory with a 15-12 win in game five. The
Lakers continued their road trip by visiting the three UP schools.
GVSU defeated Northern Michigan, 3-1 and then swept both
Michigan Tech and Lake Superior State, 3-0 to end the trip with a 50 record.
Grand Valley State returned home to host Gannon and
Mercyhurst and won both matches, 3-0. The Lakers then traveled to
West Michigan rival Ferris State and won a thriller, 3-2. Ferris State
won the first game, 35-33, but GVSU came back to win game two,
30-26. The Lakers took a 2-1 game lead, picking up a 30-22 game
three win. The Bulldogs tied the match at 2-2 as they won game four,
30-21. Grand Valley didn't give up though, fighting hard in game
five. Ferris State went up 4-1, but the Lakers tied it up at 5-5. GVSU
then scored five out of the next six points to take a 10-6 lead. The
Lakers had at least a two point lead until Ferris State cut it to 13-12.
They scored the next point to make it 13-13, but Grand Valley scored
the next two points on kills by Meghan Moore and Jamie Ashmore to
seal game five (15-13) and the match.
Grand Valley returned home to knock off Wayne State, 3-0.
The Lakers then had their 18-match winning streak snapped with a 30 loss to Hillsdale. The loss marked the first in GLIAC play and only
the second overall for GVSU. Grand Valley bounced back and
recorded six straight wins to end the season.
GVSU went to Northwood and Saginaw Valley State and
swept both teams by a 3-0 score. The Lakers returned home for its
22
2007 Media Guide
final four regular season matches. GVSU swept all three UP schools,
Lake Superior State, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan, 3-0. The
Lakers concluded the regular season with a 3-1 win over Ferris State.
Grand Valley State earned the #1 seed in the GLIAC North
Division for the GLIAC Tournament. They Lakers hosted the first
wild card team, Northwood, and recorded an easy 3-0 win. The next
two matches were hosted by Hillsdale College, who was the overall
#1 seed. GVSU knocked off Ferris State, 3-0 in one of the semifinal
matches while Ashland swept Hillsdale,
3-0 in the other match. Ashland and
GVSU faced off in the final match of the
GLIAC Tournament. The Eagles jumped
out to a 2-0 lead and the Lakers battled
back to win game three, 30-18. It wasn’t
enough though, as Ashland won game
four, 30-17, to seal the GLIAC
Tournament title.
The Lakers earned the #2 seed in the
Great Lakes Region Tournament and
defeated Lewis, 3-1 in the quarterfinal.
#7 GVSU ended its season with a 3-2
loss to #14 Southern Illinois
Edwardsville in a semifinal match of the
tournament. The Lakers won games one
and three, while the Cougars took games
two and four. SIUE closed out the win
with a 15-10 decision in game five.
Junior Allyson Riley was named the
GLIAC Libero of the Year for the second
straight season. Riley, senior outside hitter Megan Helsen and senior middle
blocker Meghan Moore all earned AllGLIAC First Team honors. Sophomore
setter Jamie Ashmore was named to the
All-GLIAC Second Team, while junior
middle blocker Erica Vandekopple
earned All-GLIAC Honorable Mention
plaudits. Moore and Riley also earned Daktronics Great Lakes
Region First Team and AVCA All-American First Team honors.
Moore was also named to the Daktronics All-American Third Team.
Helsen moved her way into GVSU's record books after an
outstanding four-year stint with the Lakers. Helsen ranks seventh in
kills (1,267), fifth in total attacks (3,442), third in aces (216) and
fourth in digs (1,297) on GVSU's career records list. Helsen helped
the Lakers to a 116-25 (.823) overall record in her four seasons.

solo and 245 assisted blocks and a .338 hitting percentage.

Tournament History
2000 Quarterfinalist (Sioux Falls, S.D.)
2001 Semifinalist (Allendale, Mich.)
Grand Valley (31-4) qualified for the NCAA
Tournament for the first time in school history in 2000.
The Lakers captured the GLIAC title for the first time
since a co-championship in 1987.
GVSU hosted their first-ever NCAA Great Lakes
Regional and came away with the regional championship.
In the process, the Lakers had a five set battle with
Northern Kentucky and then beat Northwood for the third
time that season.
At the Elite Eight, Grand Valley faced Hawaii Pacific,
who was 25-0 going into the match. The Lakers fell to the
eventual national champion, 15-4, 15-13, 15-4, putting an
end to the remarkable season.
Head Coach Deanne Scanlon was named AVCA Great
Lakes Region Coach of the Year for the first time in her
coaching career. Middle hitter Kathy Vis became
GVSU’s first-ever First Team All-American and also
received Daktronics Great Lakes Region First Team.
Setter Kristy Kale, Grand Valley’s all-time leader in
assists (5,441), earned Second Team All-American and
Daktronics Great Lakes Region First Team honors.
Outside hitter Carly Miller was the third Laker to be
named to the Daktronics Great Lakes Region First Team.
The senior class had great success in their four years,
compiling a 101-37 (.732) record from 1997-2000.
In 2001, the Lakers staked their claim as a national
power by advancing to the NCAA Division II
Championship Tournament for the second consecutive
year.
In addition, 2001 not only saw the Lakers advance to
the Final Four for the first time in school history, but
Grand Valley hosted the championship event in its own
Fieldhouse Arena, where close to 2,000 spectators
enjoyed some of the nation’s premiere volleyball action.
The Lakers entered the season with little expected of
them after losing two all-americans to graduation.
However, a team with no seniors turned in one of the best
volleyball seasons in the history of the school by recording a 29-5 record.
A victory over Mercy College in the NCAA Elite Eight
gave the Lakers their first ever Final Four appearance.
However, a loss to South Dakota State in the national
semifinal ended the Lakers’ season and 31-match home
winning streak, just short of the ultimate goal of winning
a National Championship.
Grand Valley excelled in the postseason as they recorded a GVSU-record 22-match winning streak and claimed
the GLIAC North Division title with an 11-1 mark in the
regular season.
Carly Miller became Grand Valley’s second AVCA
First Team All-American. Miller also received the
GLIAC Player of the Year award and was a five-time
Player of the Week award recipient. Chara Fehsenfeld
was a Verizon First-Team Academic All-American for her
3.98 GPA and her play on the court. Fehsenfeld and Traci
Skrzypek were named All-Great Lakes Region while
Nicole Bayle and Sabrina Bird earned Second Team and
Honorable Mention All-GLIAC, respectively.
Head Coach Deanne Scanlon received the GLIAC
Coach of the Year Award for the first time in her career
and Great Lakes Regional Coach of the Year award for
the second consecutive season.

2002 Semifinalist (Canyon, Tex.)
2003 Semifinalist (San Bernardino, Calif.)
Grand Valley continued its success in 2002 as they captured their third straight Great Lakes Regional
Championship. The Lakers 32-3 record was the best in
school history.
For the third consecutive season, GVSU hosted and won
the Great Lakes Regional Championship. The Lakers
matched up with Northwood in the championship game
and defeated them for the third time that season.
The Lakers defeated Edinboro College, 3-0, in their first
game in Canyon, Tex. at the NCAA Championship. Grand
Valley then played Truman State and fell in the semifinals,
3-1 (27-30, 29-31, 30-26, 22-30).
That was the last game for four seniors as Carly Miller,
Chara Fehsenfeld, Traci Skrzypek and Lisa Cramer left
Grand Valley after leading the team to an unbelievable 11919 (.862) record in four years.
Once again, Miller earned AVCA First Team AllAmerican honors as did Nicole Bayle. Bayle and Miller
also earned First Team All-GLIAC plaudits.
Fehsenfeld earned her second straight Verizon Academic
First Team All-American honors. Fehsenfeld, Sabrina Bird
and Traci Skrzypek were all named to the All-GLIAC
Second Team. Head Coach Deanne Scanlon was named
Great Lakes Region Coach of the Year for the third consecutive season.
The Lakers earned their fourth consecutive Great Lakes
Regional Championship title and fourth straight berth in the
NCAA DII National Championship in 2003. GVSU finished the season with a 30-8 record.
For the first time in four years, GVSU was on the road for
the Great Lakes Regional Championships. The tournament
was held by Northern Michigan in Marquette, Mich. The
Lakers defeated both Indianapolis and Wheeling Jesuit, 3-2
to advance to the championship match. GVSU defeated
Northern Kentucky, 3-0, to win the regional title.
Grand Valley faced Nebraska-Kearney in the first game of
the NCAA Championship, which was held in San
Bernardino, Calif. The Lakers won, 34-32, 30-26, 30-17, to
advance to the semifinals for the third straight season.
GVSU fell, 3-1 (21-30, 30-25, 29-31, 26-30), to North
Alabama in the semifinals. North Alabama went on to win
the NCAA Championship title.
Senior setter Nicole Bayle earned AVCA Division II First
Team All-American honors for the second consecutive year,
while senior middle hitter Sabrina Bird was named to the
AVCA Division II All-American Third Team.

Tournament History
2005 National Champions (Kearney, Neb.)
After falling in the Great Lakes Region semifinals in
2004, the Lakers wanted to regain the region championship
title and make it back to the National Championship.
Grand Valley was granted the #1 seed in the Great Lakes
Region Tournament, allowing them to stay home and play
at the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena.
The Lakers rolled through the regional tournament, winning all three matches, 3-0. For the second straight year,
GVSU matched up against Charleston in the quarterfinals
of the regional tournament and for the second year in a
row, Grand Valley State won 3-0.
In the semifinals, Grand Valley faced Northwood, making it the fourth time the two teams played during the season. For the fourth time, the Lakers defeated the
Timberwolves, 3-0, advancing to the Great Lakes Region
Tournament Championship match against #2-seeded
Rockhurst.
The top two seeded teams battled back and forth, but
GVSU held on to win 3-0 to advance to the NCAA
National Championships for the fifth time in six years.
The win marked the sixth consecutive postseason match
GVSU won by a 3-0 margin.
Grand Valley faced Dowling in the quarterfinals and
came out strong winning the match, 3-1. #16 GVSU faced
#3 Tampa in the semifinals in what may have been their
toughest match all season. The Spartans dominated game
one, 30-19, but GVSU battled back to win game two, 3019 and game three, 30-26. Tampa tied the match at two
games apiece by winning game four, 30-28. The Lakers
jumped out to a 7-2 lead in the deciding game five and held
on to win the game and match, 15-10, advancing to their
first-ever National Championship match.
Entering the match, host school Nebraska-Kearney had
won 33 straight matches overall and 66 consecutive home
matches, which tied for the second longest in DII history.
Grand Valley came out strong in the match taking games
one and two, 30-18 and 30-27, respectively. The Lopers
came back to take game three, 30-25, but GVSU sealed the
match and the title with a 30-24 game four win.
Lakers in NCAA Action

Regional title and hosted the tournament five out of the
last seven years. GVSU also hosted the NCAA
Championships for the first time in 2001.

Life as a Laker
Laker Facilities
Laker Academics
Laker volleyball has become synonymous with excellence and with the level of play improving, so have the
facilities. Grand Valley plays all of its home matches in
the friendly confines of the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena. The
Fieldhouse Arena was selected as the host of the 2001
NCAA Division II Elite Eight. Fans from all over the
country packed the stands to watch the exciting competition as the Lakers advanced to the semifinals for the first
time in school history. The Laker volleyball team also has
its own fully furnished locker room and team room.
Grand Valley boasts a rich history of academic success
amongst its student athletes. The Laker volleyball team is
no exception. They have had five Academic AllAmericans and many other academic award recipients.
Laker athletics is committed to offering a positive “learning environment” which fosters academic excellence.
Damon Arnold serves as the academic advisor for the
athletic department. Arnold supports all Laker athletic
programs and is focused on assisting student-athletes by
helping them to maintain a strong academic performance
as they progress towards their goal of graduation.
Laker Weight Rooms
GVSU strength training has contributed greatly to the
success of the Lakers over the last several seasons. Grand
Valley State boasts two state-of-the-art weight rooms on
campus that are for the sole use of athletics. One weight
room is located directly in the Fieldhouse and measures
out to 2,600 square feet. The athletic department also
added the 3,200 square foot Rob “Odie” Odejewski
Weight Room which opened in the summer of 2002
directly behind the track and football stadium.
The Lakers also have a great sports medicine program to
provide top quality healthcare for athletes. Head trainer
Mark Stoessner oversees the department along with assistants Meghan Berry and Adam Buchalski.
Laker Service Opportunities
The Lakers are also very active in the community and
enjoy helping others. In July 2007, juniors Megan
Walling and Lauren Reber traveled to Swaziland with a
non-profit and church group out of Flint, Mich. The
Kingdom of Swaziland is a small, landlocked country in
Southern Africa with a population of 1,136,334 people.
The two athletes spend a week and a half there, helping
out at an orphanage and finishing build a church. While
working on the church, Megan and Lauren spent most of
their time painting. The orphanage housed about 40 children, with most of them losing their parents to AIDS.
About 30% of the population in Swaziland is infected
with AIDS.
The picture to the left is Megan and Lauren with the
housemoms who are on staff at the orphanage.

The Laker Volleyball Experience
My experience on the Laker volleyball team has changed
my life. It is quite funny that when you are in college, going
to classes, traveling, spending time practicing and taking good
care of yourself, you think it is the hardest thing that you ever
will do. At the time you are a part of such commitment, you
think that it cannot get any harder. Well, then you graduate
and real life starts. Real financial struggles become reality.
You begin a career with high levels of expected commitment.
You have to make larger than life decisions that will shape
your future.
Grand Valley volleyball totally prepared me for those decisions. The time spent during my four years at Grand Valley
taught me to be responsible, dedicated,
respectful, committed to a purpose and
driven toward a goal. Most importantly,
I now have a coach that has become a
friend, teammates who have become
like family and experiences that will
always be cherished memories.
Amanda Cameron
1993-1996
My time with the Grand Valley volleyball program has
been a learning experience on the court and off the court. I
have learned the importance of time management, communication and presentation. My career with GVSU has given me
some of the best times of my life. I will never forget the
laughs I shared with teammates, the celebrations of victories
as well as the life lessons of struggle every student-athlete
must face.
I have chosen the career path of collegiate coaching
because I want to give a student-athlete the same great experience that I had while being a part of
the Grand Valley volleyball program. I
have learned what it takes to work hard,
and achieve your goals, both in sports
and life. Through all of these lessons at
Grand Valley, I have learned how to be
a winner.
Kristy Kale
1997-2000
Grand Valley has been a major influence on my life,
throughout my education and now into my professional career.
I came to Grand Valley from St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada to
play volleyball, and had no idea what to expect. I had never
heard of GVSU before and was even not sure of its location.
Taking the initial tour of Grand Valley’s campus was a major
deciding factor when it came to choosing the college. At
GVSU, you will find the advantages, facilities and resources of
a large, state university in the atmosphere of a smaller private
college.
Playing volleyball at Grand Valley was such a wonderful
experience, and one that I will always cherish. Because of volleyball, I was able to bond with so many wonderful people and
belong to such a supportive community. I loved the eight-hour
48
2007 Media Guide
road trips with the team, singing and dancing down the aisle of
the bus, watching movies or playing euchre. I’ll never forget
that feeling of invincibility right
before game time. The relationships
that I made during those years are
ones that will remain lifelong.
Thanks for the memories Grand
Valley.

In addition, GVSU has won nine straight Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference President’s Cup titles as the top athletic program in the 13-team
GLIAC. GVSU has 70 GLIAC titles since 2000.
Selgo has been the key figure in the development of the athletic facilities and
programs at Grand Valley State. Construction has begun on the Movement Science and Recreation facility that will allow classes and athletic teams
the opportunity to work inside in inclement weather. The 137,662 square foot facility will have a 100 x 55-yard fieldturf surface, a six-lane track with
nine sprint lanes and batting cages that will drop from the ceiling. The Laker softball team will begin play on its new field in 2008. GVSU has expanded its football stadium seating capacity to 8,550, added executive suites and added a new scoreboard the the added feature of a ProStar video display
board. The GVSU Football Center, located in the north end zone of Lubbers Stadium, has been expanded by more than 4,000 feet, and a new track
around the football field was installed in the summer of 1998. Lights were installed at Lubbers Stadium and the Rob Odejewski Weight Room was
built in honor of the late Assistant Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions. The baseball and soccer fields have added press boxes, storage
space and concession areas. In addition, the fieldhouse locker room project, that enabled every varsity sport at Grand Valley State to have its own locker room, was spearheaded by Selgo.
While at Toledo, Selgo was responsible for the day-to-day operations for Toledo’s 10 women’s and nine men’s sports teams that competed at the
Division I level in the Mid-American Conference. Selgo was instrumental in the marketing and promoting of all 19 sports that the Toledo athletic
department sponsored.
A native of Pettisville, Ohio, Selgo was inducted into the Toledo Athletic Hall of Fame in February of 2001. He was a standout basketball player
at Toledo from 1977-80, earning four varsity letters. The Rockets posted a four-year record of 87-26 during Selgo’s playing days on the hardwood.
Selgo participated in two NCAA Midwest Regional Tournaments for Toledo. His 1978-79 Rocket squad claimed a first-round, 74-72, win over Iowa,
before dropping a 79-71 decision to Notre Dame in the second round. In 1980, Selgo scored 18 points in Toledo’s 94-91 loss to Florida State in a firstround NCAA Tournament game. Selgo was part of two MAC Championship teams (1978-79 and 1979-80) and was co-captain of the ‘79-80 squad.
He earned Mid-American Conference All-Academic honors in 1978, 1979 and 1980 and was named Senior Scholar/Athlete-of-the-Year at Toledo in
1980. Known as an outstanding shooter, Selgo still holds the UT record for free throw percentage in a single-season, converting 92.3 percent (48-of52) during the 1978-79 season. He also holds the Toledo career free throw percentage record in MAC games, hitting 86.1 percent (62-of-72) and the
single-season Rocket mark for MAC games of 93.9 percent (31-of-33).
Selgo graduated from Toledo in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education and a minor in mathematics. Following graduation, Selgo
remained at Toledo as a graduate assistant for the Toledo men’s basketball program and earned his master’s degree in education administration in 1982.
He then served as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Toledo from 1982-1985.
In 1985 he was named head women’s basketball coach at Toledo. Selgo served as head coach of the Rockets women’s basketball program for three
years, turning around a program that is now at the top of the MAC.
Selgo is married to the former Terry Bush and together the couple have three children: Jennifer (22), Rachel (20), and Daniel (14).

Growing Beyond Expectations.
Grand Valley State University’s role is that of a public, comprehensive institution which provides educational services to
West Michigan. The institution offers liberal arts and professional education for its students, contributes to the advancement of knowledge, applies that knowledge to societal needs, assists the state in its development, enriches the cultural life
of the citizens of the region, and prepares its graduates to be citizens of an increasingly global society. Grand Valley State
is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in all its endeavors.
Grand Valley State University has been the fastest growing public university in Michigan for nearly two decades. Founded
in 1960 as a state college, GVSU has become a comprehensive university, currently providing undergraduate and graduate
education to more than 23,295 students.
GVSU continues to expand its programs, campuses, and services. Grand Valley is a learning community where close student-faculty interaction enhances both teaching and learning. To support such an environment, the institution encourages
students to participate actively with faculty in all aspects of their education, from formal classroom instruction to research,
academic advising, cross-cultural interaction, and extracurricular activities.
One University, Two Campuses.
With an attractive main campus near Allendale, Grand Valley State University offers a safe, friendly atmosphere conducive
to living and learning. The focus here is undergraduate programs, athletics, and student activities.
Our Grand Rapids campus was established in 1988 in response to
a demand for graduate education and urban university services.
The nine-story Eberhard Center quickly filled to capacity and will
soon be joined by a new classroom, business, and library center.
The Meijer Public Broadcast Center, home to GVSU's public radio
and television stations, is also located here.
Grand Valley also meets the need for university education with the
new Meijer Campus in Holland and centers in Muskegon and
Traverse City.
A Resource for our Region.
Grand Valley State University connects West Michigan to the
world.
The diverse activities and resources of GVSU radiate in a ripple effect across
the region. Examples include
