When we say Laker for a Lifetime,
itÕs really the lifelong learning
and the leadership
that the individual is going to pursue as he
or she goes out into the workforce
and into the communities.
ItÕs about the participation.
ItÕs about getting together with your friends,
getting together with the faculty and staff
and doing a research project or participating
in an internship program or participating
in an international experience.
This is all about those participatory
responsibilities that we take on as students
and then they inform us and enrich us
for the rest of our lives.
When we take an educational experience
that is beyond the classroom,
we get more invested.
You then become that Laker for a Lifetime.
And a Laker is one who gives back.
A Laker is one who makes a difference
in the world.
You can do that.
When you think about Laker for a Lifetime,
itÕs all about how we give back
after what we have received here
at Grand Valley State University.
