GRCC, WMU make transferring easier

From a comment form managed by the Student Feedback Management Team:
I enjoy going to school here. I have gone to another community college, I wont state the name, but they were not as helpful and understanding as GRCC. GRCC has wonderful and caring online teachers and I look forward to starting up this fall with my on campus classes and hope they have teachers just as great as my online classes did. One teacher that stood out more than the rest was my music teacher Grace Schwanda, I hope GRCC appreciates her hard work as much as I do, she truly cares about her work and her students. Thank you, GRCC!
The Campus Filmmakers, a student organization on campus, will be filming scenes for a movie involving zombies this Friday, May 10th, in and outside of Sneden Hall from 2:00-8:00 p.m. During this time, there could be large groups of actors dressed as zombies walking through the parking lot. We wanted to make you aware of this planned and approved activity on campus, as fake blood, body parts, etc. will be involved.
Please be respectful of the area in which the film crew and actors are working. No volunteers are needed. For more information please contact Student Life at 234-4160.

Honey: Spring’s glory reminds us how we all take new forms
5/6/13 MLive
My magnolia has really outdone herself this year. She burst into glory last week with hundreds of white-and-soft-pink flowers. They were so lusciously fragrant that I would go stand under their canopy just so I could get drunk on the sweet smell of heaven.
… So it is with my friend Dick DeVinney, who passed both from and into glory April 20. He was 76, which seems like a good long life. But news of his death took the wind out of me. I couldn’t believe how quickly he had gone.
… Dick was well-known to those who love beautiful music. He was the longtime music minister at First United Methodist Church in Grand Rapids and a music instructor at Grand Rapids Community College. Classical music fans know him as the guy who covered the Grand Rapids Symphony for many years. And art lovers know that he and his wife, Marion, founded First Church’s Celebration of the Arts, a highly regarded, juried exhibition of spiritual and sacred art.
