Madison Schmidtmann '18

One of my favorite memories is choreographing an intro-level hip-hop dance for the GVSU Dance Troupe with my roommate/best friend. We had a lot of fun working out the choreography together, tie-dying the group's costumes, and getting to dance!

I was working late in Kindschi Hall on pouring an agarose gel for electrophoresis but I had mistakenly poured the gel too thick. I remember just laughing with my classmates because I'd review the progress hour after hour and nothing would change.

My favorite memories at Grand Valley were made at the Sustainable Agriculture Project (SAP). That is where I met my best friends, learned how to cook, became passionate about sustainability, and learned to keep bees.

My favorite memory was meeting my future wife in the basement of Mackinaw Hall while in Genetics class.

I joined the Grand Valley track team my second year of college. It brought me new friends and new experiences - so many amazing memories.

I loved working as a student laboratory assistant in the biology department throughout my undergraduate career; I had the best boss and the faculty and staff were all great to work with.

Potluck dinners in Niemeyer Living Center (the original location near Kleiner).

The GVSC mainframe computer was kept fairly busy for a while with my test runs of a computational physics problem.
