I remember one weekend, they went around to each room and forced us to go to the football game. I had the best time despite not wanting or planning to go!

My favorite memory at Grand Valley was racing for the Ski and Snowboard Club, the experience gave me lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories.
Breanne Dalm '19 & '22
It's so hard to choose one favorite Grand Valley memory, but I would say attending the football games with my parents would be my favorite. My brother was in the Grand Valley marching band so we would always enjoy watching him play.

Going to football games with my roommates, and meeting some of the best people.
Allison Staley '12 & '17
I have so many memories! One of the top ones would be watching our football team win the game that sent them to nationals! The goal post got taken down by the fans rushing the field and we got to take a picture with it.
