Spotlights

Alyssa Hannan '21

Joining Delta Sigma Pi, the Professional Business Fraternity, my sophomore year allowed me to meet new friends, step outside of my comfort zone, and grow my professional knowledge.

Holly Mertens '13

My favorite memory of Grand Valley is working in the Dean's office at the Seidman College of Business. I was able to get to know H. James Williams and also support students.

One of my favorite memories was the first time I met my freshman year roommate, who is now my best friend still to this day. We started as strangers awkwardly trying to be polite and courteous to good friends who travel together all the time!
