Donors like you are making it possible for students to prepare for what's next in a changing world, and for Grand Valley to continue to provide the talent our region and our state need for the future.
By supporting the Military and Veterans Resource Center, your gifts will help Grand Valley take our standing as one of the top veteran-friendly universities and expand it to be the top veteran-inclusive community. Our veterans deserve the best we can offer and thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we can take our excellence in this area to a new level.
Brian ’08, ’14 & Olubunmi (Bunmi) Parks ’08, ’13 share a passion for helping Grand Valley students achieve their dreams. After graduating from GVSU, both started their careers in West Michigan and eventually moved to the Detroit area. Their experiences and involvement while on campus shaped their career paths and inspired them to give back. The generosity and support that were given to Brian and Bunmi as college students, led them to provide the same encouragement for the next generation. The Parks are paying it forward by supporting the Couch Black Excellence Scholarship to ensure the success of future Grand Valley students.
“It's important to us to give to that scholarship because we believe in Black excellence and ensuring people of color have the tools they need to succeed in higher education.”
