How to Get Involved with the Office of Student Life
Getting involved at Grand Valley is just as important as getting to class on time, using your dining dollars, or wearing pants to class (we’ve all had that nightmare). It’s time to take your first step into a world of fulfilling community service, lifelong new friends, and fun homework-less activities. Here’s how you can get involved with Student Life!
