Abstract

The fifty-year celebration of Grand Valley State University culminates several things; the passing of time, the growth of the university, and the journey to prominence for women's athletics. Over five decades, GVSU has created one of the most recognized women's sports programs in the country. This poster presentation will provide a historical and pictorial account of the development of the women's sports programs which began under the direction Joan Boand in the early 1960's. Today, GVSU's women's sports programs are a source of pride for the university thanks to legacy of the women athletes, and especially Coach Boand, who were determined to make women's sports successful against great odds.
