Studying in the old library with classmates right before finals! The comradery, sharing of ideas, strategies, stories and knowledge made my last year at Grand Valley State my favorite.
Being a part of the Cook Leadership Academy and being afforded opportunities like speakers, mentors, self-development, and building bonds with diverse peers. I now have the pleasure of giving back to the program both financially and as a mentor.
I spent the majority of my time at GVSU serving as a Multicultural Assistant and being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. A specific memory was traveling to Alabama in 2001 for the Football National Championship with my good friend Yolan
My favorite memories from GVSU were working at the Eberhard Center at the Conference Center, and getting to meet and serve students, faculty, staff and GVSU guests.
Because our graduation and social work hooding and pinning ceremonies were canceled due to COVID-19, my favorite memory would have to be our virtual celebration and Zoom toast in the social work department.
