- Notes:
- Walter Kryzanowski was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1949. After dropping out of high school he enlisted in the Army. Enlisting allowed him to choose where he'd like to work; he chose supply. He trained at Ft. Knox and Ft. Lee. He was in the top 10% of his class at Ft. Lee which allowed him to work in advanced stock control and accounting control. This was his job the whole time in Vietnam; he and a few other guys worked in three vans. His job was to process parts what they knew what they wanted, punch cards, and went to the computer room and ran them through. Mr. Kryzanowski extended his tour in Vietnam. He continued this job after Vietnam in England for three years.

- Thomas J. Haas Address to Faculty and Staff, 2008. This video is in color with sound. Thomas J. Haas gives an address to faculty and staff on August 22, 2008 as a welcome back for the new academic year. Haas begins with a few stories about students and families who found Grand Valley to be a great choice. He then welcomes Board of Trustees members and a few other individuals in the audience. Haas discusses goals the Board of Trustees set the previous year, mentioning the highlights from these goals and achievements thus far. Haas then goes through strategic planning and goals for different themes, including leadership, fiscal responsibility, and community development. There is a lot of focus on the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools accreditation, the completed self-study, and next steps in the accreditation process and the university’s goals going forward. Haas then discusses a few changes looking forward, including the Board of Trustee’s new policy on household benefits, and adaptations for budget and tuition costs in order to be accessible to students despite the economic situation. Haas then takes questions from the audience on the campus smoking policy, success in becoming an environmentally friendly campus, and keeping graduates in the state of Michigan. He finishes up with talking about plans moving forward, including the new library.

- Self-recorded interview by Norma Buenrostro Gonzalez, May 18, 2016. Norma’s parents are originally from Michoacán, Mexico. Her family came to the United States in 1999, and she grew up in Holland, Michigan. Later, Norma and her older sister moved to Oceana County to live with their aunt and uncle, who own a Mexican store named La Probadita in downtown Hart. As Norma’s family never worked as migrants or pickers while she grew up, she was astonished by how big the agricultural business was in Hart. Norma has spent time volunteering with the Hart Main Street Program, the Oceana Hispanic Center, and her church. She hopes to see more positive relationships built between farmers and workers in the future.

In December 1943 he was sent to Guadalcanal in the South Pacific where he joined C Company of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marine, Regiment, 3rd Marine Division. In June 1944 he partook in the invasion of Guam where, after neutralizing a Japanese machine gun nest, he was awarded the Silver Star. At the start of 1945 his unit sailed to Iwo Jima but did not land, and instead returned to Guam to clear out Japanese stragglers and prepare for the invasion of Japan. He remained there after the Japanese surrender and returned home in December.

- Interview with Rosemary Willey by Barbara Roos, documenting the history of Grand Valley State's William James College. William James College was the third baccalaureate degree granting college for Grand Valley. It was originally designed to be an interdisciplinary, non-departmentalized college consisting of concentration programs, rather than majors. The college opened in 1971 and was discontinued in 1983 during a reorganization of Grand Valley State. Rosemary Willey was a student of William James College from 1977 to 1982. In this interview, Rosemary discusses the career-oriented attitudes of young professionals in New York City in comparison with the learning-oriented education she received at William James College, in addition to her experience learning from professor Walter Wright. This interview is part 2 of 3 for Rosemary Willey.

It is dated only at "Hartford" the poststamp, as usual, is illegible, so I direct this acknowledgement to Hartford of Connecticut, as the best city of the name that I know of."
