#GVHappyHousing Contest

Calling all current students living on-campus!

Are friends constantly saying you have the best-decorated room on campus? Have you ever dreamed of seeing your face on a Grand Valley brochure? 

Take part in our #GVHappyHousing contest for the chance for you and your on-campus living space to be featured in GVSU Marketing materials--and of course, the chance to win our grand prize package! Submit your entry through TikTok or Instagram by tagging @gvsu and using #GVHappyHousing. Entries close at midnight on February 20th. May the best room win!
