This past week, our director, P. Douglas Kindschi, was recognized by the Grand Valley University Foundation for his commitment to philanthropy, service and the university. Doug received the Arend D.

During his 45-year career at Grand Valley, Kindschi has helped build the foundation of the university’s STEM programs. 

Doug was appointed as founding director of the Kaufman Interfaith Institute in 2010 and has led dynamic community-wide programming such as our 2012 Year of Interfaith Understanding, 2015 Year of Interfaith Service, 2018 Year of Interfaith Friendship, and the 2021 Year of Interfaith Healing - along with numerous dialogues, conferences, and initiatives to promote interfaith understanding and acceptance. He continues to direct the work of the Insitute as we look to the future of interfaith cooperation.

Congratulations to Doug for receiving this honor!
