There is a spirit at Grand Valley that bonds students, faculty, staff and alumni. You’ll discover it in our campus traditions. You’ll find it in our classrooms and corridors. You’ll carry it with you as you go through life. It is this bond, this spirit, which makes you a Laker for a lifetime.

As a current student, it’s your turn—to contribute to our campus with your talents and your passions, to be fully engaged in your communities, and to care for those around you, your Laker family. 

Then when it is time for you to graduate and give back, you’ll be prepared to carry the torch for the students who will follow you. You’ll lead by example, so that they can look to you and say..”that’s what it means to be a Laker”.
