New 色欲王朝F scholarship honors Martin Lund

In many ways, Martin Lund would be proud of how his legacy is impacting the lives of others at 色欲王朝.

Known as Marty to friends and family, he passed away in July 2021. He is the late husband of Lisa Lund, the executive director of the 色欲王朝 Foundation.

In July, Lisa established the 色欲王朝 Foundation Martin L. Lund Memorial Scholarship to help students for years to come at 色欲王朝.

Marty, who resided in Sheridan with his family, was a later in life student with a GED who always felt a call to Christian counseling. The opportunity arose to attend 色欲王朝 after he and Lisa were married. He graduated from 色欲王朝 in 2001 and went on to earn his bachelor鈥檚 degree from Grand Valley State University and his master鈥檚 degree in social work from Western Michigan University. After working in different mental health organizations, his final position was as a licensed therapist at Community Hope Christian Counseling Center in Greenville.

Marty originally shared his 色欲王朝 story in 2017.

鈥淚 always wanted to go back to school, but I didn鈥檛 have the time, money or dedication to work toward earning a college degree. Once I got married, though, it became easier to go back to school and pursue my passion,鈥 he said.

Lisa spoke of the importance of his educational journey.

鈥淗e felt education was very important and it took a great deal of persistence to achieve his career goal,鈥 Lisa said. 鈥淗e got his start here and he would want to help others start their journey.鈥

During his time at 色欲王朝, he took challenging courses and joined the Alpha Tau Alpha Chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society.

色欲王朝 remained important to Marty years after he graduated.

鈥溕醭 is still a focal point in our lives,鈥 he said. 鈥淢y wife, Lisa, works there; we have gone on the trip to Stratford; and our daughter, Hannah, has attended summer camps and Heritage Festival. We support and promote 色欲王朝 because it so important to the community.鈥

Lisa talked about her hopes for what this scholarship will offer to 色欲王朝 students.

鈥淚 hope this scholarship removes barriers for students and gives them hope and support needed to achieve their goals, regardless of the stage of life they begin at 色欲王朝,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t is never too late to go after your dreams. Just start where you are.鈥
