Whether virtual or in person, Dr. Nathan Lindy, builds connections with students, focusing on the success of each one.
Lindy, a GRCC physical sciences assistant professor, originally wanted to teach in the K-12 system, but later decided to teach at the college level.
“The strength of the GRCC physical sciences program is the smaller class sizes, where students are able to interact with their actual instructor,” he said.
“Designing teachable labs is hard work and time intensive,” he said. Lindy focuses on building time into labs to connect with students and help them through the material. Using those teaching moments to build bonds with students and learn from them –making him a better teacher.
“My father always taught me to explore the world around me (and beyond), and I’m doing that every day with my physics students at GRCC,” he said.
A former student of Lindy’s shares that though physics is a tough subject, and students should plan to do a lot of studying and be prepared for class, Lindy is very helpful during class and his office hours.
“Dr. Lindy is one of those professors who genuinely cares about your performance in the class as well as your well-being,” they said.
Learn PH 115 Technical Physics, PH 245 Calculus Physics 1, and PH 246 Calculus Physics with Lindy at GRCC this winter. Registration is open and classes start Jan. 9, 2022.
There are many reasons why attending in person was not an option. No worries. We invite you to be a part of the experience via Livestream.

The Grand Rapids Community College volleyball team stayed perfect in conference play, and won its 10th match in a row with a 3-1 victory over Muskegon Community College on Thursday.
GRCC beat the rival 26-24, 18-25, 25-21, 25-21.
“The team came in with a positive attitude and carried that positive attitude throughout the whole game,” freshman Lexi Heavner said. “We didn’t let the crowd bother us and we played the game we know how to play. Today proved that we are capable of greatness this season.”
GRCC had three players reach career-highs in the win; Karissa Ferry, Eliza Thelen and Audrey Gower.
Ferry had five blocks and Thelen had eight, including two solo blocks. Gower had 32 digs, including 12 in the third set.
One of the biggest keys to the victory was the comeback by GRCC in the third set. With Muskegon up 17-11, the team went on a 10-0 run, all with Gower behind the service line, and wound up stealing the set 25-21.
Audrey Torres led the team in kills with 15 including seven in the final set. Kara Hecht added 13 kills and Ferry finished with 10. Shannon Russell finished with the lone double-double on the team with 40 assists and 14 digs.
GRCC, now 10-2 on the season and 6-0 in conference play, have just one day off before the annual Raider Challenge on Oct. 1 and 2. The Raiders first match will begin at noon and they will face former conference foe Kellogg Community College.
If you are a single-monitor user (or even if you use an external monitor) it may be handy to have multiple virtual desktops. Juggling different projects on the same computer can be tricky but using a virtual desktop can be very similar to using multiple monitors giving you more space to work.
Multiple desktops are great for keeping unrelated, ongoing projects organized, or for quickly switching desktops before a meeting. You can add an unlimited number of them as well.
These instructions can be found in the knowledge base article titled Utilizing Multiple Desktops. Please feel free to bookmark it for future reference.
