I miss the physics club area all the time! We had a space within Padnos where physics students could congregate, collab on projects, and work through tough problems on whiteboards.

I met the woman who is now my wife during my first year at GVSU. My favorite memory is proposing to her in the arboretum during our final year.
The thrill of being on a new campus where Vietnam protests were as accepted as the traditional West Michigan values. Most important though is meeting my wife and developing lifelong friendships.
My favorite memory was randomly being filmed for the "LipDub" in 2010 and playing GVSU Rugby with my best mates!
In the Fall of 1966, I remember asking the athletic director if we could have a woman's crew. He said, sure. Just bring me some interested students!
