Alumni Spotlights
Stephen Harrison '97
I always enjoyed the luxury of being able to visit often with my uncle, Norman TenBrink, who was a long-time faculty member in the geology department, and who's office was just a few steps away from my living center (Weed).
Morgan Lemmen '20
One of my favorite GVSU memories is taking BIO 109 "Plants in the Word" with Elise Hollister. She is an amazing professor who really made an impact on me and my educational journey!
Jason Black '99
I have too many memories but having to greet the incoming freshmen class in the field house during freshmen welcome week with Victor Cardenas is one of my most stressful memories.
George Jones '94
My favorite GVSU memory is Mrs. Jamison's writing exploration class. I learned so much about other people in that class as she really encouraged us to open up and share our stories.
