The GVSU Alumni Association hosted its annual outing on July 16 at the Meadows Golf Course. Alumni golfers traveled from near and far to participate in the friendly scramble which drew 116 participants.

After the day on the links, volunteers and participants headed over to the Main Street Pub for dinner and the awards program. The outing raised more than $10,000 for GVSU Pathway Scholarships. This fund assists students from middle income families that don't qualify for federal need-based aid and are ineligible for government programs. By supporting these students' educations, we can widen the pathway to graduation, helping them achieve their goals.
