The GVSU's Education Alumni Association gives back to Grand Valley State University by providing volunteering, networking, and professional development opportunities for current students and alumni of the Education Programs.

If you are interested in joining the Alumni Association, please contact Emily Horvat at [email protected] or Kate Powers at [email protected] or join us at any of our events!

• Are you in need of quality children’s literature for your classroom?
