Some of my favorite GVSU memories are sitting and chatting with Carlos Santana after his concert, meeting Walter Cronkite, and finding my best friend.

Experiencing the wild late 60's Viet Nam era on campus. TJC, although I was not part of it. Being a co-founder of WGVSU radio with two other students. We had a studio in the basement of Seidman and ran it over the cable throughout campus.
