Spotlights

Michael Burns '80

The GVSC mainframe computer was kept fairly busy for a while with my test runs of a computational physics problem.

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.

Jessica McFarlin '14

My favorite memories are the day-to-day study sessions I would have in Mackinac with friends. It would always end up in a hang-out as more people would walk through.
