Spotlights

Jessica Wehby '14

My favorite Grand Valley memory is pulling an all-nighter in Neimeyer dorms the night before an African Civ final!

Judith Majnun Miller-Lindsey '78

Learning to develop & print black and white film as well as color - doing it the old-fashioned way. Professor Whitney Sevin was an amazing teacher.

My favorite GV memories are all of my memories hanging out with my friends at my job at the 2020 Info Desk, Voices of GVSU Gospel Choir, and my sorority sisters of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.
