Alyssa Hannan '21
Joining Delta Sigma Pi, the Professional Business Fraternity, my sophomore year allowed me to meet new friends, step outside of my comfort zone, and grow my professional knowledge.

I loved being involved in dance troupe while in undergrad. Being able to choreograph and lead such a wonderful organization helped me build close friendships and is where I found my place at GV.

I used to love walking/jogging around Allendale campus, in any weather, between classes. I love the outdoors, and there was a lot of natural beauty on campus.

I have fond memories of spending time in nature at GVSU while hiking the ravines for samples and measurements during the NRM course called The Climatic Factor as well as during the Rowing I course I finally got enrolled in my senior year.
