Eric Maino, a Grand Valley alumnus and principal engineering lead at Microsoft, will visit Grand Valley October 1 to discuss his career journey from Allendale to Seattle.
Maino's presentation, "Love Your Work, Love Your Life," will take place at 4 p.m. in the Cook-DeWitt Center on the Allendale Campus. The event is free and open to students, faculty and staff members.
