A new sculpture outside the Fieldhouse Arena honors the bond between longtime GVSU supporter Raleigh Finkelstein and President Emeritus Arend "Don" Lubbers as well as their connection to GVSU.
The multi-year process to create the sculpture started with understanding the friendship and shared vision for Grand Valley that Finkelstein and Lubbers share, and then moved on to detailed step-by-step work that kept growing in scale.
