Spotlights

DeMario Bell '16

The Presidents' Ball will forever be a favorite memory of mine because I loved how the GVSU community came together for a wonderful night of celebration, recognition, and school pride.

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.

Karen Kekelik '15

My best GVSU memory is meeting my best friend- Katarina Mannor (now Dean).
