Gayle Davis warmly shares important steps leading to the beginning of Brooks College.

School of Interdisciplinary Studies (SIS) faculty celebrated Brooks College!

When I walked into the Brooks College Padnos International Center for my job interview, I was struck by how intensely and immediately I wanted to work there. There were different languages and maps on the walls, photos of students abroad, very cool and international staff and student workers. I loved it. I was so nervous I stammered through the first part of my interview, but they took a chance on an art student with a kind of random interdisciplinary background. It changed my life forever. For the last 12 years I have done work I care about with people I care about. Brooks College is a good place for that, and I am glad to have been a part of it.

Helping to build the Apiary at the Meijer Campus in Holland with Anne Marie Fauvel was such a fun experience and produced so much delicious honey! Pictured here is the original GVSU Beekeepers Group.

This is my first year working at Brooks College, and I am deeply touched by how friendly my colleagues are. Whenever I have any questions regarding my courses, the faculty and staff at Brooks College always lend a helping hand immediately. I am excited to be working in a big family where everyone helps each other.
