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