SUMMARY:5.9.23 - Frederik Meijer Service Above Self Award Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Kate Pew Wolters has been chosen to receive the Frederik Meijer Service Above Self Award\, given by the Rotary Club of Grand Rapids. The award is presented in recognition of Frederik Meijer’s philanthropic acts of selfless service to our community\, which left a lasting impact on the lives of others. \n “Kate Pew Wolters deserves this award because she devotes her entire being to giving back to our community\,” said Neil Marchand\, attorney at Miller Johnson and one of her nominators.  “Her pace is “nonstop\,” and her impact has been profound.” \nKate Pew Wolters is living proof that an individual’s life circumstances do not define what that individual can do. Throughout her life\, Kate Pew Wolters has broken down barriers—both literal and metaphorical—to make our community a more inclusive place. Not afraid to tell the truth and advocate for her beliefs\, her life’s work dispels the notion of inability and teaches us all that every person has value and can contribute to improving all of our lives. \nWolters has transformed our community with a primary focus on educational\, disability\, and arts institutions. Presently she chairs the Steelcase Foundation\, co-chairs the First Steps Kent Commission (a community partnership focused on building a coordinated system of early childhood services in Kent County)\, co-chairs the Johnson Center for Philanthropy Leadership Council\, and serves as a trustee for Grand Valley State University. \n“We’re so fortunate to live in a community with many potentially worthy recipients\,” said Wolters. “I’m honored to have been chosen.” \nPrevious Frederik Meijer Service Above Self Award winners include Dave & Karen Custer; Marge Wilson; Jacqueline Taylor\, PhD; Shelley Irwin; Rick DeVos; Luis Tomatis\, MD and John & Nancy Kennedy. \n“In Rotary\, we work to make our community and the world an inclusive place\,” said Doris Drain\, President of the Rotary Club of Grand Rapids. “In honoring the great work of Kate Pew-Wolters\, we are validating these efforts.  In the spirit of Fred Meijer\, Kate’s many acts of selfless service have made the Grand Rapids community a better place.” \nThe Rotary Club of Grand Rapids will honor Kate Pew Wolters at the Frederik Meijer Service Above Self Award Celebration on Tuesday\, May 9\, 2023\, at 6:00 pm at The Cultural Center at St. Nicholas\, 2250 E Paris Ave SE\, Grand Rapids\, MI.

SUMMARY:5.11.23 - Dr. Keli Christopher
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Keli Christopher – Founding CEO\, STEM Greenhouse \nFounder and Executive Director of STEM Greenhouse\, a nonprofit organization that fervently believes if you plant the seed in the areas of Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, and Math (STEM) and nurture the resulting curiosity\, CHILDREN WILL FLOURISH!! \nMy interest in math and science began with my excellent education in Grand Rapids Public Schools. I received a full scholarship to the HBCU\, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University\, and continued to the University of Illinois where I received a master’s and a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering. I am only the third Black woman to ever receive a Ph.D. in Agricultural Engineering in the world. I was often the only woman or person of color in a sea of white male faces in all my classes. This led to feelings of disconnectedness\, loneliness\, and alienation. Because of these experiences\, I promised that one day\, I would try to personally make it easier for students of color to succeed in STEM education\, pursue STEM careers\, and feel supported in a way that had been absent for me. \nThis is what I know to be true.\n– Relationships are as important as curriculum in urban K-12 education.\n– One person can change generations by influencing the life of a child. \n
