Grand Valley's Women’s Commission recognized leaders on campus during a September 20 luncheon with the theme of Reimaging Community.
Community involves building and nurturing relationships. Keynote speaker Jenny Hall-Jones, vice president for Student Affairs, expressed the power of relationships. “Relationship building isn’t just networking, it's reciprocal, it's what you also give and receive," she said.
Jones said she reimagined her community when she began working at Grand Valley, adding it takes patience to build trust before making progress. In her speech, she defined the term effortless perfection, coined by the Women's Commission at Duke University.
“That's where women bring home the bacon and fry it in a pan. You do all of the things because you have to be a mom and go to work. You do it all perfectly and effortlessly and it is hard but you don’t tell anyone," she said.
The Women’s Commission is in its 27th year of operation. Awardees are listed below.
Women’s Commission Awards:
CWGE Awards:
Outstanding Student Awards
Positive Black Women Awards, Scholarship:
Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies:
Jean Enright Scholarship: Ruhi Khanna
