My favorite memory was attending every single GVSU football game throughout my four years, and getting to work on the sidelines as a sports marketing intern!

Alumni Spotlights
Kay Augustyniak-Miller '85
It's been incredible to see the campus' growth over the past 36 years and remember back to what it used to be. My spouse and I met my senior year, and my son met his wife also at GVSU.
Hannah Pier-Herendeen '12
My capstone class with Professor Bulson was such a great class to culminate my experience in health communications. He was very knowledgeable and an overall great professor to have before graduation.

One of my favorite college memories is meeting the friends who would become like family. We bonded over late-night study sessions, spontaneous adventures, and just always showing up for each other. Another highlight was playing intramural sports!
