More than 4,500 Lakers dressed to the nines — complete with ornate masks — to attend the 32nd annual Presidents' Ball February 3 in Grand Rapids.
Student Senate President Jonathan Bowman and Grand Valley President Thomas J. Haas hosted the sold-out event, "A Night of Masqueraded Mystery," at DeVos Place.
Members of the campus community were presented with awards during a special ceremony. John Martin, director of Athletic Bands, received the Laker of the Year Award; David Clark, assistant professor of mathematics, received the Student Award for Faculty Excellence; and Marlene Kowalski-Braun, associate vice provost for Student Affairs and assistant vice president for Inclusion and Equity, received the President Appreciation Award.
Presidents' Ball is organized by the Laker Traditions team and the Office of Student Life. It is one of Grand Valley's oldest traditions; the first ball took place in 1986.
