The Grand Valley State University Alumni Relations team is an on-campus department located inside the Alumni House & Visitor Center. 

We strive to provide Grand Valley alumni with a sense of community and pride, as well as lifelong learning opportunities. We do this by engaging alumni with student support activities, social and professional development events, communications, ways to give, and academic resources.

Dominic
Student Graphic Designer
As the student designer, I create almost all of the graphics and designs put out by Grand Valley’s Alumni Relations! While working, I may produce a logo for an event, a t-shirt design, or any graphics needed for our website and social media pages! I major in graphic design with a minor in advertising and public relations. I started working with the GVSU Alumni Relations team in December of 2020. I am determined and incredibly eager to use my design skills to the best of my abilities for our university while gaining knowledgeable experience in the design field!
