Van Grissom, a Central Illinois urban coordinator from the Department of Natural Resource’s Division of Fisheries and an Eastern Alumn, puts his fishing poles away after an afternoon fishing on Wednesday at Campus Pond. “I love the school so much because of all the marine biologist that it puts out every year,” Grissom said, ”certain schools put out NFL players, other schools put out baseball players, Eastern puts out marine biologist.”
