GVSU Alumni Relations used National Volunteer Week as an opportunity to gather and thank the hundreds of graduates who volunteered at university and community projects or served on boards and committees during the 2009-10 academic year. Of the nearly 500 total alumni volunteers, 85 attended the April 20 Volunteer Celebration to enjoy gourmet food stations, beverages and a video tribute highlighting the impact of their collective efforts. GVSU was recognized numerous times in the past year for community involvement and volunteerism, in no small part due to the ongoing efforts of committed graduates. Alumni volunteers who were unable to attend received a special appreciation gift. View Photos.
