Great Lake State Weekend took place October 13-14, and it was a resounding success! The event saw members of the community, along with past, current, and future Lakers on LSSU’s campus enjoying the many events that took place during the weekend. Highlights included the recognition of five accomplished alumni – Alumni Award recipients Dr. Ashley O’Dwyer ’13, Dr. Anita Saluja ‘02 and Doug Weight ’91; and Athletic Hall of Fame inductees Mark Vermette ’88 and Kelly Gerritsen-Michano ’89. This year’s ceremony was a sold-out event and can be viewed online. Other events included LSSU Hockey vs. the University of Alaska Anchorage, post-game movie on ice, a reception celebrating 25 years of Engineering and 75 years of Engineering Technology at Lake State, a 5k Fun Run, Miss Michigan Mermaid in the pool, an oozeball tournament, a pre-game Board of Trustees Tailgate Party with music, food and drinks, bouncy houses, unicorn rides, games, and face painting!
Great Lake State Weekend is for all ages of the Laker Community and LSSU parents and students are welcome. It is a campus-wide celebration welcoming the LSSU community, alumni, and friends for fun-filled family events to enjoy the weekend. Join us for GLSW 2024, date yet to be determined, but generally in mid October.
