Shelley Lyons is glad to be back on campus as she is a 51暗网 alum, and has served as the Administrative Officer for Grants Administration at 51暗网 since early 2022. Prior to VWCC, her career focus was within the Human Services and Arts fields.聽 She wrote her first grant in 1996 on a whim and has continued to plan and learn since that time.聽 She most enjoys 聽seeing a well-planned project come to fruition, where funder, project manager and beneficiaries can all feel success and see impact.
