University Marketing announced the launch of Grand Valley's virtual campus tours, now available on tour links (below) or through an interactive map: map.gvsu.edu.

These tours, Allendale Campus and Grand Rapids Campuses, are compatible with virtual reality, work well with the existing map and empower prospective students to explore Grand Valley from anywhere in the world. Each tour stop includes detailed information and visuals, giving visitors a real feel for the campuses.

In today's competitive higher education environment, these virtual tours are viewed as a game-changer for recruitment. They provide a convenient and engaging way for prospective students to experience GVSU and encourage them to inquire, visit, apply and enroll.

By offering a virtual glimpse into campus life, we can reach a wider audience and showcase what makes Grand Valley special. This makes GVSU campuses more accessible and shows the university's commitment to using technology to meet the needs of future students.
