Spotlights

Hannah Witte '20

While completing my English major, I felt like I was not a good enough critical thinker and writer compared to my peers, but when I took a class with professor Kurt Bullock, he made me recognize that I actually excel in these areas.

Susan Howard '10 & '15

Between my undergrad classes, graduate classes, and interactions with faculty and staff campus-wide, I developed countless friendships and working relationships that I will always be grateful for.

Ken Horne '11

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.
