My favorite GVSU memory is singing at the football stadium with the Voices of GVSU. That was so much fun even though it was cold.

Rushing to Mennas Joint for a fatty dub before class.
One of my favorite memories at Grand Valley was cheering on the football team from the student section.
Perhaps, as an International Relations major with a Latin American studies minor, you can see yourself in a Chilean classroom learning about political instability in the country during the mid-1900s. Or maybe as a double major with Chinese Studies, lately you’ve taken an interest in exploring the outsourcing of Michigan’s manufacturing jobs and you’re ready to learn more in China. It could also be that, as an IR major with an Arabic minor, the prospect of practicing your Arabic while completing an internship with a Dubai-based microfinance firm means the world to you.
Regardless of which area of the world, language, or subset of International Relations fascinates you, study abroad is your opportunity to learn about and experience diverse cultures first hand—all the while gaining valuable professional experience. Students in the International Relations program at GVSU engage in thoughtful discussions about a variety of issues with a significant international flair. Through study abroad, you will gain valuable insight that can only be derived by living, working, and studying in an international setting. In addition to being a valuable asset to your classrooms and community upon your return, these are the types of experiences that can best help define your career goals.
