ALLENDALE, Mich. â Grand Valley State Universityâs 2021 graduates will have two ways to celebrate this year: a virtual commencement ceremony along with an in-person opportunity the next day to cross a stage and have their picture taken, a news release said Monday.
The virtual commencement ceremony will be held April 30 at 7 p.m.
An in-person Laker Graduation Celebration is planned for Saturday, May 1, in the Fieldhouse Arena on the Allendale campus.
During the April 30 virtual ceremony, President Philomena V. Mantella and Maria Cimitile, provost and executive vice president for academic and student affairs, will confer degrees and lead students in turning their tassels.
Body-worn cameras
Maybe your school has a film department, but the most prolific cinematographers on your college campus are probably the police.
Since the early 2010s, body-worn cameras (BWCs) have become more and more common in the United States. This holds true for law enforcement agencies on university and college campuses. These cameras are attached to officers’ uniforms (often the chest or shoulder, but sometimes head-mounted) and capture interactions between police and members of the public. While BWC programs are often pitched as an accountability measure to reduce police brutality, in practice these cameras are more often used to capture evidence later used in prosecutions.
Hunter Hoover and Evan Leist grew up in Pike County competing against one another in multiple sports, and now they share the same title: NAIA All-American.
Hoover, a 2017 graduate of Waverly High School, went on to run Cross Country and Track collegiately at Shawnee State University.
Leist, a 2019 graduate of Eastern High School, went on to compete in the same sports at Kentucky Christian University.
Both athletes have experienced a great number of athletic accomplishments dating back to their high school days, but none more rewarding than the hardware they brought all the way back to Pike County Ohio from Yankton, South Dakota this past weekend.
