Archie Smith IV '21 & '24

My favorite memory as a Laker was transferring to GVSU my sophomore year. I immediately found community through student organizations and from the moment I stepped on campus, I knew I'd be a Laker for a Lifetime.

Lauren Moine '21

My favorite memory has to be giving tours for the Admissions office. I loved getting to meet potential students and parents and share my love for the University. I made great friends with my fellow tour guides and I'm so thankful for that experience.

Ashlyn LaBrenz Kloska '20

My favorite Grand Valley memory is meeting my husband at Grand Valley! We met in September 2017 through the Fencing Club. We were recently married, December 19th, 2024 in Grand Rapids! I have also met several of my closest friends through GV.

Phil Biggs '78

My favorite Grand Valley memory is forming a singer-songwriter trio in 1976. We performed around campus, singing some favorite songs from the mid-70's. Then, we started writing our own tunes - my English background served me well:)

Joel James '12

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories was rushing to Menna's Joint for a Fatty Dub before class.

Kelly Hildebrand '95

I have so many great memories of my time at GVSU, but probably the best one was meeting Adam Sandler.

Takeelia Garrett '96 & '00

My favorite GVSU memory is singing at the football stadium with the Voices of GVSU. That was so much fun even though it was cold.

Hunter Stephens '22

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is going and supporting our Lakers no matter what sport they are playing. The energy from football games and the Laker pride will always stick with me!

Michael Williams '13

I absolutely loved being a campus tour guide. Nothing beats seeing moms, dads, and/or other family members go from "anxious and worried to send their child off to school" to "comfortable and excited."

Melissa Harris '06

The years have changed most of my memories into fond ones, including walking from my dorm to my class with wet hair that was frozen solid by the time I crossed Little Mac.
