Grace was a member of the first class on the new campus.  In 1976 Grace was honored with two awards: Most Valuable Woman Athlete and Miss Northwestern.  Grace was involved in music as well as sports.  She was part of a musical group which gave 270 performances representing the school over one year.  Grace currently serves on the Northwestern Board of Trustees.

Grace’s involvement in sports has gone far beyond the Northwestern campus.  For 21 years she has been a Big 10, college and high school official.  She officiates both volleyball and basketball.  She has officiated the Minnesota State High School League Volleyball Championship match five times.

Through sports at Northwestern, Grace deepened her walk with Christ.  This has led to a firm foundation in her faith which has guided her throughout life.
