Past Studies
"Whatever projects the institution undertakes, it is essential that these be carefully done, well-publicized, and well monitored. Hopefully, specific projects and on-going evaluation will become a routine part of life at GVSU, this serving as a model for the rest of American higher education" (1994 GVSU Women's Climate Study, Consultant's Report).
