Michael Peuler '77
As I was a military veteran and married when I entered GVSC, I was driven to excel in my education. The professors were excellent and I loved walking the then rough campus, including ropes to assist on the sidewalks in the winter.

Mid-winter, my sophomore year, the concrete slab on Pierce Street is typically flooded and froze over. My friends and I organized a pond hockey game and played all day.
Serving as a Resident Assistant for three years, building relationships with staff and students, all working to make GVSU a better place to live and learn.
I love how small my program was at the time. I made some great friends with both students and faculty in my program. I never would have had that experience at a larger university, and I truly believe that set me up for success post-graduation!
