As a co-leader on Grand Valley’s National Student Advertising Competition team, he helped the Lakers tie for first in the 2019 NSAC competition for District 6. Originally from Dearborn, Mich., Cotter worked for the NBA G League’s Grand Rapids Drive as a gameday promotions intern during the 2018-19 season.
Hired as a video production intern for the 2018-19 season, Whitefield assisted in all aspects of the Griffins’ award-winning digital media production team, including coverage of all community events, the “best of” monthly videos, in-game sponsored videos and in-game open videos. In her new role as digital media production coordinator, she will take on expanded duties within the department. Hailing from Lake Orion, Mich., Whitefield will graduate from Grand Valley State University in December 2019 with a degree in advertising and public relations.
