My favorite memory of Grand Valley was the day that I toured campus for the first time after transferring. I immediately knew that I had made the right decision Grand Valley was home from the moment I stepped foot on campus!

I can always recall memories of running in T. Haas on campus! He was like a celebrity when spotted on campus and carried such a positive light and energy that lit up the room.

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is, In 2014, GVSU had one of its few snow days when nearly two feet of snow fell overnight and all classes were cancelled. The campus turned into a giant winter wonderland and it was such a fun day.
