Olivia Hearth '24

Joining the Seidman Mentorship Program was a transformative experience for me. Through the guidance and encouragement of my mentors, I gained the confidence to believe in myself and my abilities.

Jim Zwarensteyn '75

That was a long time ago, but my favorite times at school where the annual band tours. Each year the band would board busses in the spring and spend 3 days visiting different Michigan communities.

Madison Moore '24

There are too many! Living in my sorority house, studying abroad in Italy, and working as a student assistant at the Alumni House, to name a few.

Judi Majnun Miller - Lindsey '78

I loved playing my guitar and singing my original songs in the local coffee house.

Phil Biggs '78

I formed a singer-songwriter trio in 1976 and we performed around campus, singing some favorite songs from the mid-70's. Then, we started writing our own tunes - my English background served me well:)

Debra Smith '03

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories was meeting fellow students who were passionate about learning and growing in their professions.

William Van Lente '69

My favorite course was Social Psychology under Dr. James Lundy given it bridged my interest in psychology with organizational development. My most fun course was Field Techniques in Anthropology which was an actual physical anthropology excavation.

David Baum '80

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories was swinging on grapevines at the bottom of the ravines.

Zachariah Brevis '99

Traveling by passenger van to Wichita, Kansas, with a motley group of GVSU students to frame a house as part of the Alternative Spring Break (ASB) program has to be among my favorite college memories. I met some amazing people on that trip.

Julie Bekius '97

Traveling to the Student Nurses Association (SNA) State meeting in Midland, MI with friends and classmates from my nursing cohort.
