I have so many great memories from GVSU. If I had to pick one, it'd be my freshman year watching our football team in the playoffs on an ESPN-televised game. It was absolutely freezing out. We won the game and all the students stormed the field afterward.
My capstone class with Professor Bulson was such a great class to culminate my experience in health communications. He was very knowledgeable and an overall great professor to have before graduation.
One of my favorite memories at Grand Valley was competing in college athletics on the swim team and making so many memories with all my teammates. Being around 60 of your closest friends for four years was an amazing experience.
My time as a graduate fellow at the Van Andel Global Trade Center was indispensable in creating and obtaining a formative experience at GVSU. It's one of the best service-delivery-to-community programs that the university has.
My favorite Grand Valley memory is our Toast with THaas!
