Jboard Ambassadors

Van Andel Institute was built on a foundation of collaboration, innovation and inspiration — a place where scientists, educators and staff share a passion to improve health and enhance the lives of future generations. Their work is part of a network that extends far beyond West Michigan, connecting donors, business partners, supporters, volunteers, and community members across the globe, all in the name of supporting cancer and Parkinson’s disease research.

Early and mid-career professionals like yourself are a key part of this network, bringing modern perspectives and an ardent drive to improve the world around them. By donating $25 a month — or $300 a year — you’ll have exclusive access to the latest discoveries in Van Andel Institute’s biomedical research and science education initiatives. You’ll play a key role in expanding the Institute’s knowledge base by sharing your experience with other early and mid-career professionals at special events throughout the year. These unique experiences will give you the opportunity to expand your network and elevate your knowledge, all while supporting the next generation of research.
