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.

Alumni Spotlights
Alexis Gerard '19
One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is being involved in dance troupe while in undergrad. Being able to choreograph and lead such a wonderful organization helped me build close friendships and is where I found my place at GV.
Matthew D'Oyly '06
One of my favorite GVSU memories is the first snowfall, walking across the bridge and seeing the large blue art piece lightly covered in snow.
Paul Cook '04
One of my favorite Grand Valley memories was attending potluck dinners at Niemeyer Living Center, the original location near Kleiner.
Christina McElwee '05 & '08
One of my favorite memories from Grand Valley was being a part of the GVSU Dance Troupe. I had never taken any type of organized dance classes prior but soon fell in love with the art of dance. I still dance both recreationally and competitively today.
