I remember tailgating at a Grand Valley playoff game in December while it was snowing. It was a great time and felt special having a home game so late in the season. The best part of Grand Valley was the people.

Alumni Spotlights
Jamie Allen '14 & '15
Two notable memories are my first football game in the student section and the Seidman College of Business Accounting Recruiting event where I received significant exposure to professional networking.
Jerry Elkins '70
My favorite GV memory is having Physical Education classes in the old farmhouse.
Judith Majnun Miller-Lindsey '78
One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is learning to develop & print black and white film as well as color - doing it the old-fashioned way. Professor Whitney Sevin was an amazing teacher.
Justin Ruehs '00
As a transfer student from Grand Rapids Community College and a commuter, I was so proud to have been elected to lead as the President of GVSU's chapter of Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). I would say that is my favorite memory.
