The John and Margie Russell Continuing Education Fund
Michigan has an urgent and accelerating need to address a significant gap in our workforce. To progress in careers of the future, we must meet Michigan’s working people with opportunities to upskill, adapt, and lead in a time of change. Through GVSU Omni we see the opportunity to bridge the need for flexible upskilling across industries and the desire for immediately applicable skills. Through a generous donation by John and Margie Russell, we are able to provide an opportunity for qualified learners to take industry-focused professional development courses at a discounted rate.
Eligible learners may qualify for the John and Margie Russell Continuing Education Fund tuition support towards applicable non-credit offerings.

Through asynchronous online instruction, these certificates would provide the flexibility adult learners need to engage when and where they are able. Each certificate would provide value as a specialized, stand-alone upskilling opportunity, or they can be stacked together for a more holistic approach.
