Being a part of Campus Ministry is my favorite GV memory. We always had a lot of fun and I met some of my best friends through there.
I have fond memories of spending time in nature at GVSU while hiking the ravines for samples and measurements during the NRM course called The Climatic Factor as well as during the Rowing I course I finally got enrolled in my senior year.
My favorite memory at GVSU was walking at graduation... we were treated like rock stars at the VanAndel Arena!
Learning to develop & print black and white film as well as color - doing it the old-fashioned way. Professor Whitney Sevin was an amazing teacher.
My favorite Grand Valley memory is pulling an all-nighter in Neimeyer dorms the night before an African Civ final!
