“What I love most about the College of Computing at GVSU is the academic quality and the dedication of the professors. One of my favorite experiences was contributing to the Laker Mobile app, knowing it could help our entire campus community. GVSU has prepared me well for my next steps, and I’m excited to apply for OPT and gain industry experience before returning to my home country.”
