Dennis Foley

Dennis Foley credits his transformational experience with The Valley Vanguard and then-Vice President of Public Affairs, Stuart D. Gross, with launching his 45-year career as a newspaper reporter and editor, and as a professor of journalism. He also believes that curiosity and critical thinking skills learned from researching, questioning and synthesizing information — and the ability to write and present information clearly — are essential. With his fellow alumni, Dennis hopes to encourage the development of those skills in future generations of SVSU Cardinals.
