The Student Alumni and Philanthropy club is a new club forming at Grand Rapids Community College in partnership with the GRCC Foundation.

Associate Director of College Advancement Erin Cisler, who founded the club, said the club is meant to “foster philanthropic spirit among the students at GRCC.”

“(The purpose is) to try to get them to understand what philanthropy is and for us to create a good positive relationship, us being the foundation, and students,” Cisler said. “For student Alumni it will give them a chance to come back and talk to students, or come back and do different things on campus with our students, and planting that seed on what it means to be an alumna.” Students interested in the Student Alumni and Philanthropy Club, or would like more information about how you can give back to GRCC, can contact Cisler at ecisler@grcc.edu.
