Engineering and business knowledge gained at GVSU helped me grow

opportunities to practice electrical engineering and project
management in a variety of different engineering consultant and
manufacturing settings.

My spouse and I met at GVSU, so my favorite memories are of the

coffee in Kirkhof Center.

Near the end of the engineering coursework at GVSU, we were

Valley experience.
Caring, Accepting, and Growth
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
