GVSU Establishes Reynolds Scholarship

A new endowed scholarship, named for longtime WOOD-TV broadcaster Warren Reynolds, has been created by the university. 1999 marks the 35th year of Reynolds' career at TV8. His wife, Sharron (M.B.A. '93) and family were on hand for the unveiling of the scholarship at the conclusion of his nightly newscast on November 24. GVSU was represented by Vice President Matt McLogan and his wife, Jane Brierley.

The career of Warren Reynolds should be a role model for those who seek to become broadcasters, President Lubbers observed in creating the new fund. This scholarship will enable young men and women who aspire to the broadcast arts to receive needed financial assistance and to learn by example from the man for whom their award is named.

The Reynolds scholarship was announced in conjunction with the 50th year of broadcasting by WOOD-TV, and the first contribution to the scholarship fund was made by WOOD-TV. We commend WOOD-TV for its service to our community and for its many partnerships with the university, McLogan said.
