On a beautiful spring day, Frederik Meijer Honors College resident Rachel Maude led a group of students from Kentwood’s Endeavor Elementary on a campus tour. Maude’s group was one of several this morning, criss-crossing the grounds and listening to Honors College students lead the expeditions.
As they approached one of GVSU’s landmarks, the Transformational Link, Maude issued a warning to the group that’s ingrained into every GVSU student. “If you walk under it, you won’t graduate,” Maude said.
Most of the group heeded her caution, but one student made a break for it, jogging underneath the massive sculpture while sporting a sly grin and earning the shock and admonishment of his classmates.
Hosted by the Meijer Honors College and Office of Multicultural Affairs, the students experienced a morning of exploration and discovery on the Allendale Campus, which included stations of activities headed by geology professor Peter Wampler. Inviting students from Endeavor was a strategic decision, said Roger Gilles, director of the Honors College.
