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.
Andrew Kirby '12
One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is walking/jogging around Allendale campus, in any weather, between classes. I love the outdoors, and there was a lot of natural beauty on campus.
Thomas Seffernick '14
One of my favorite memories I remember was the nights we spent in the editing suite trying to finish up our assignments.
Breana Malloy '21
One of my fondest memories at Grand Valley is working on my first short film as the Producer. I had no idea what I was doing yet I felt so empowered as a filmmaker. I ended up making friends that are still a part of my life and my film crews!
