My favorite Grand Valley memory is walking between buildings holding a rope during snow storms.

Being a part of Campus Ministry is my favorite GV memory. We always had a lot of fun and I met some of my best friends through there.

It's been incredible to see the campus' growth over the past 36 years and remember back to what it used to be. My spouse and I met my senior year, and my son met his wife also at GVSU.
