Monroe Center Laker Store collection offers new way to support GVSU scholarships

The initial Philly's Faves collection includes a plush toy inspired by Grand Valley's First Pup, Lily, complete with a personalized dog tag; a GVSU-branded water bottle that includes an attached dog bowl; "Proud Laker Works Here" pennants; magnet university lapel pins; "Turning What if Into What Is" t-shirts; and GV shoe clips, a signature item often worn by Mantella.

"As I begin my seventh year as president of GVSU, I continue to be in awe of the way our community shows up for our students," said Mantella. "The care and engagement from our alumni, community members, faculty and staff in support of our learners is inspiring. I love this fun new way that we can invite everyone to show their Laker pride while raising funds for scholarships."
