Lakers dance the night away at Presidents’ Ball

Over 1,600 Lakers returned to GLC Live at 20 Monroe on Feb. 28 to participate in one of GVSU’s longest-running traditions: Presidents’ Ball. 

This year marked the 40th anniversary of the first Presidents’ Ball. The event was co-sponsored by Campus Activities Board, Office of Student Life and Student Senate and was hosted by Evan Jackson, president of Student Senate, and Malia Rodolico, president of traditions for the Campus Activities Board. 

Attendees were able to hear remarks from President Philomena V. Mantella, see a performance from the Laker Dance Team and hear the announcement of this year's Spring Concert artist, BigXthaPlug.
