One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is visiting Seattle with others in my graduate program to attend a conference, which became one of my favorite Grand Valley memories.

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.

It's been incredible to see the campus' growth over the past 36 years and remember back to what it used to be. My spouse and I met my senior year, and my son met his wife also at GVSU.

The first Grand Valley memory that comes to mind is one that took place long after graduation. On November 15, 2019 I sat in the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena and watched the university officially welcome its first-ever female president, Philomena Mantella.

A favorite Grand Valley memory is meeting two friends, Jill and Brad, and having all of our 300 and 400-level classes together! It was so nice to go through all that with a core group of friends!

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.
