My favorite Grand Valley memory has got to be every moment in the College of Education. I became so close with my cohort because we took every class together, worked on math proofs, and collaborated on teaching strategies together.

My spouse and I met at GVSU, so my favorite memories are of the two of us being together and having heart-to-heart talks while sipping coffee in Kirkhof Center.

Talking walks every night in the spring of freshman year...once it started to warm up. A group of us (4-8 of us) would always go for long walks on campus. It was always so peaceful and quiet until we made it loud.

I love how small my program was at the time. I made some great friends with both students and faculty in my program. I never would have had that experience at a larger university, and I truly believe that set me up for success post-graduation!
