More than 4,500 students, faculty and staff members attended the color-themed ball, "Unchartered Color: A Journey Through the Meaning of Color," at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids. Student Senate President Ella Fritzemeier and Grand Valley President Thomas J. Haas hosted the event, which included color-themed rooms and swing dancing.
Members of the campus community were presented with awards during a special ceremony. Ashley Schulte, Grand Valley's victim advocate, received the Laker of the Year Award; Jonathan White, executive director of the university's Homeland Defense Initiative and professor of interdisciplinary studies, received the Student Award for Faculty Excellence; and Provost Gayle R. Davis received the President Appreciation Award.
