One of my favorite memories from Grand Valley is the sense of community I found through my involvement in various student organizations. Being part of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated (Nu Theta Chapter), serving as the 2007-08 President of the NPH
Danielle Josephine DeWitt '05 & '09
The first memory that comes to mind is one that took place long after graduation. On November 15, 2019 I sat in the GVSU Fieldhouse Arena and watched the university officially welcome its first-ever female president, Philomena Mantella.

Anything and everything to do with the Laker Marching Band.

Being a part of the Cook Leadership Academy and being afforded opportunities like speakers, mentors, self-development, and building bonds with diverse peers. I now have the pleasure of giving back to the program both financially and as a mentor.

My favorite memory is planning and executing the first big event for the GVSU Chapter of NAACP as the inaugural president. Our team wanted to create an entertainment event that truly resonated with students of color on campus.

I LOVE walking the Allendale campus during the fall color change.

The Sechia Breakfast Series. An introduction at one of the breakfasts allowed one connection to another, which landed me an internship, provided me with a full-time position, and provided me with my current job.

Some of my favorite memories come from my time as a member of Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, particularly during my term as President. One standout event I always reminisce about is our collaboration with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
