Abby
Alumni House Student Assistant
As a student assistant, my job includes responding to emails, answering the phone, assisting visitors, updating our alumni databases, and several other office tasks. I am currently an exploratory major in hopes to discover a field that I am passionate about. Working at the Alumni House has been extremely rewarding as it is helping me gain several soft skills that can be transferrable to any future career. I enjoy the opportunity to work in a professional setting and get to do work that is helping GVSU Alumni!

Beka
Student Graphic Designer
As the student designer, my job is to make the graphics and designs for Grand Valley’s Alumni Relations. These include logos for events, t-shirt or sticker designs, and graphics for the Alumni website and social media pages. I am a graphic design major, and I started working with the GVSU Alumni Relations team in April of 2023. I am determined to work hard in order to help the team reach and connect with alumni. At the same time I approach my work as an opportunity to learn more about both the field of graphic design as well as designing within an established brand identity.

Gabbi
Student Social Media Assistant
As the Alumni House Social Media Student Assistant, I am responsible for overseeing our engagement through social platforms like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. I also get the chance to interact with alumni through these platforms and celebrate their post-grad accomplishments. I am going into my junior year majoring in Marketing with a minor in Advertising & Public Relations. I started my work with the GVSU Alumni Relations team in the spring of 2024. Working with such a great group of people and an amazing alumni network are my favorite parts of working here. I have the opportunity to grow in a professional setting while also gaining invaluable experience that will help me in my future endeavors.

Abby
Student Communications Assistant
As the Student Communications Assistant at the Alumni House, I am responsible to creating and sending many types of communication to help alumni to stay connected to Grand Valley, which includes e-newsletters, promotional emails, alumni webpages, and more. I am a senior majoring in Advertising and Public Relations and will be receiving a badge in social media and a certificate in leadership. I am also the Chief Communications Officer for GrandPR -- Grand Valley’s only student-run communications firm where we work with real life clients to create campaigns – including the Alumni House!

Myles
Alumni House Student Assistant
As an Alumni House Student Assistant, I answer the Alumni Relations email as well as manage the alumni database. I complete office tasks such as mailing, stocking, assisting with various projects, and anything else that is needed. I am an Economics major with hopes of continuing the graduate school at GVSU after I complete my undergrad. I am also on the Track and Field team at GVSU where I spend much of my time outside of my studies. I enjoy communicating with the vast alumni network we have here at GV, and I continue to learn valuable skills on functioning in a workplace in my time as a Student Assistant.
