CA MP US NE WS I love my school, not only because it's perfect, but because there are flags in the lawn honoring all of the 9/11 victims #GVSU Posted by Kellie Connelly (@kellieconnelly) on Sept. 11, 2013 Jessica Jennrich Jennrich named Women's Center director Jessica Jennrich was named the new director of Grand Valley State University's Women's Center. She succeeds Marlene Kowalski-Braun, who is now assistant vice provost for Student Affairs. Jennrich comes from Dartmouth College, where she directed the Center for Gender and Student Engagement. Prior to that, she led the undergraduate program in the Women's Gender Studies Department at Dartmouth and taught at the University of Missouri. "Moving forward, we'll look at how to integrate all students into the center and make sure all people feel like they have a place here," Jennrich said. "We'll make sure all aspects of our work have an intersectional lens, so we're thinking about how a student's identity is more than just gender." Originally from Cleveland, she received a bachelor's degree in English from Bowling Green University, a master's degree in women's and gender studies from Eastern Michigan University, and a doctorate in educational leadership and policy analysis from the University of Missouri. Jennrich said her plans for the Women's Center include maintaining current programs and events as well as leveraging work that has been done at the center on a local and national level. 8 Fall '13 Posted by GVSU on Sept. 11, 2013 Jack and Alex #GVSU #friends #football #militaryappreciation Posted by erinnyoung95 on Sept. 21, 2013 The cutest pumpkin ever! #golakers #goblue #gvsu #pumpkin #cute #GV Love that professors at #gvsu pay attention enough to remember you even after a year! #lovemyschool #lakerforalifetime Posted by kristinagabriella0526 on Sept. 21, 2013 Skip Lockyear --> Grand Valley State University (August 21 at 3:21 p.m.): I have to say a special thank you to the University and all the volunteers for "move in day." My daughter moved in yesterday, and I was surprised and delighted at all the volunteer groups that were there assisting with moving all sorts of items from the curb to the dorms rooms. You are very much appreciated! Posted by GVSU on Aug. 19, 2013 Posted by Jess (@jessmarie_94) on Sept.5, 2013
