Student leaders celebrated at 'I am Grand Valley' reception

More than 800 students were recognized for their leadership at the annual "I am Grand Valley" reception January 27 in Kirkhof Center. 

A total of 826 students were nominated for an award by 327 people, including faculty, staff members and fellow students. 

"I am Grand Valley" is celebrated year-round on the first Wednesday of every month when students are asked to wear their "I Am Grand Valley" T-shirts. The leadership recognition program celebrates student leaders who contribute to the campus community. Many recipients are student employees, student organization leaders, resident assistants, and students that excel in the classroom, among others. 

The program, hosted by the Office of Student Life, has recognized thousands of students since it began during the 2003-2004 academic year. Visit www.gvsu.edu/iamgv for more information.
