Welcome

The Global Laker Alumni Network exists to connect study abroad and international student alumni through periodic events both domestically and abroad to socialize, network, learn, mentor, celebrate and support global learning and engagement. 

Our purpose is to:

  • Bring alumni together for networking, professional development, social activities, mentoring, lifelong learning, and community service.
  • Build upon our relationships among GVSU alumni personally and professionally.
  • Provide support to students, alumni, and the Padnos International Center.
  • Support the mission of the Alumni Relations office and GVSU.

Go Lakers!

Grand Valley gave me some of the best memories, such as studying abroad in Ghana with the Honors College, working at the Dean of Students office and CLAS advising.

I have quite a few good memories at Grand Valley. My absolute favorite memory was studying abroad in Schwäbisch Gmünd in 2009 and 2010. I also loved being a Resident Assistant allowing me to meet lots of wonderful and interesting people.
