A long-standing partnership between Grand Valley and the Heart of West Michigan United Way continues with the annual faculty and staff campaign drive. The drive began this week and concludes November 1.
In the coming days, faculty and staff members across campus will receive information about United Way’s efforts in West Michigan and how Grand Valley’s donations help support its mission.
