LAMONI, IA (06/20/2014)(readMedia)-- Stephanie D'Cruz of Bettendorf, IA, has been elected to the 2014-15 Graceland University House Council as Council of House Chaplains Representative for Aponivi house.
Graceland offers a unique system that merges student government and the housing system. Each floor of the residence halls is designated as a "house" with its own name, symbol and colors.

This is accomplished by house council leaders becoming the members and decision makers in the student government organizations.
Stephanie and other students participating in leadership and service programs at Graceland University engage in a journey toward personal growth, social responsibility and building community by recognizing leadership potential and clarifying personal, academic and professional goals.
