Darcy Marckini '10 and '12
I love how small my program was at the time. I made some great friends with both students and faculty in my program. I never would have had that experience at a larger university, and I truly believe that set me up for success post-graduation!
Joshua Lee '13
One of my favorite memories was meeting and interacting with the residents on my floor. I enjoyed getting to know them and helping them as they started their journey at Grand Valley.
Ryan Lennon '09 & '12
My favorite memory was randomly being filmed for the "LipDub" in 2010 and playing GVSU Rugby with my best mates!
Jake Vanderheyden '19
My favorite Grand Valley memory was when I proposed to my wife, Valerie, with the Laker Marching Band playing behind us. We met during our freshman year in the LMB and have now been together for almost 9 years.
Emily David '18
Having the opportunity to learn more about my favorite subjects on one campus was so special. I will never forget how thankful I felt to be able to live the dream of pursuing both dance and biology.
Nate Engle '09
My time as a graduate fellow at the Van Andel Global Trade Center was indispensable in creating and obtaining a formative experience at GVSU. It's one of the best service-delivery-to-community programs that the university has.
Bruce Costen '68
Starting on the first basketball team at GV
Kathleen Bell '81 & '99
It was the mid to late 70s and I'm sure like many, it was a great time to be a grand valley. The best was being in the first marching band ever and all the craziness that was and co-authoring the GVSC Fight Song.
Judith Majnun Miller-Lindsey '78
Learning to develop & print black and white film as well as color - doing it the old-fashioned way. Professor Whitney Sevin was an amazing teacher.
Breanne Dalm '19 & '22
It's so hard to choose one favorite Grand Valley memory, but I would say attending the football games with my parents would be my favorite. My brother was in the Grand Valley marching band so we would always enjoy watching him play.
