Lorie Rietman Wild will be honored by her peers at April commencement
ceremonies as the 2003 Distinguished Alumni recipient.
After earning a bachelor's degree in nursing from Grand Valley in 1980,
Wild continued to advance in the field and now serves as director of
patient care services at the University of Washington Hospital.
Her extensive background includes work as a paramedic, surgical and
staff nurse, and clinical nursing faculty member at The University of
Washington School of Medicine. Wild received a foundation grant from the
American Organization of Nurse Executives in 1995. She lives in Seattle
with her husband and two children.
Alumni members also chose Gregg Dimkoff, a finance professor in the
Seidman School of Business, as the Outstanding Educator for 2003. Past
graduates called Dimkoff an astute communicator and intelligent observer
of world capital. He writes a weekly column for the Lanthorn offering
fiscal advice to students and is often used by newspaper and television
reporters as a source for financial stories.
Dimkoff joined Grand Valley's faculty in 1975. He earned bachelor's and
doctorate degrees from Michigan State University and a master's degree
from St. Louis University.
