July 22, 2021, GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-- Always remember, at GRCC, you are surrounded by people who want you to be successful and are ready to walk with you on your educational pathway. We are here to help!
Meet Danielle Nyland. As a support professional, Danielle here to help GRCC Lakeshore Campus students, faculty and staff. From making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, to making sure people know where they are going in the hallways, Danielle has it covered.
After graduating Holland High School, Danielle chose to attend GRCC on the Lakeshore because it was close and affordable. Any classes that she was not able to take on a GRCC campus in Holland she took online to finish her degree, which allowed her the flexibility to work as a student employee in the now closed Thompson MTEC GRCC office.
After graduating with her associate degree, and while working as a support professional for the GRCC Lakeshore Campus, Danielle transferred to GVSU and earned her bachelor's degree in Human Resources Management.
Danielle is excited that students taking classes at the new consolidated GRCC Lakeshore campus will have a different experience than she did - with a greater sense of community and all the services and resources they'll need in one place. She is looking forward to helping more students in-person more often.
Danielle's favorite part of her work is watching GRCC Lakeshore Campus people go from potential students to graduates. Whether they begin their career after graduation, or transfer to a 4-year college or university, she knows they'll be back to skill up for the next level of their career, or as alumni because of the strong connection they make with the college and the people who work here.
GRCC’s new Lakeshore Campus opens next month in a transformed space in the Shops at Westshore in Holland Township. The consolidated location will make a quality GRCC education more accessible.
