Alumni Spotlights
Michael Williams '13
I absolutely loved being a campus tour guide. Nothing beats seeing moms, dads, and/or other family members go from "anxious and worried to send their child off to school" to "comfortable and excited."

I have so many great Grand Valley memories! I really enjoyed attending the President's Ball and the Toast with T. Haas.
Benjamin Parsell '19
One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is, during my Junior year, GVSU sending me and three other students to travel out to Palo Alto, CA for a meetup through the University Innovation Fellows.
Samantha Hardenburgh '03 & '05
One of my favorite Grand Valley memories was that one winter where part of campus lost power in a blizzard. We played games by candlelight, went sledding and overall had a great time!
