It's been incredible to see the campus' growth over the past 36 years and remember back to what it used to be. My spouse and I met my senior year, and my son met his wife also at GVSU.

Because our graduation and social work hooding and pinning ceremonies were canceled due to COVID-19, my favorite memory would have to be our virtual celebration and Zoom toast in the social work department.

I was sitting in Devos C prepping for class and T. Haas happened to be passing through. He stopped in the middle of the walkway and yelled, "Good luck on your finals, Lakers!" and continued on his way. Devos went nuts - everyone started clapping.

My favorite memory is probably a collection of memories that I have while working as a dispatcher at the Grand Valley Police Department. I have life-long friends that I met there, I've even officiated two weddings for friends I met at the dispatch desk.
Sarah Tibbe '16 & '19
I'm a bit of a nerd, so my favorite memories were always in the classrooms. Particularly in my capstone coursework where we would have great conversations and debate about big issues.
Jennifer Connors '08
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.
Kraig Lee Whitmyer '18
My favorite memory of GVSU is enjoying my first Laker bowl celebration with my Freshmen roommates after our �Come Sail Away� jam session with T-Haas at the Fieldhouse.

A favorite GVSU memory was creating and curating a student art show with my friend (also art teacher) Michelle Haapala. As art education majors, a final show was not part of our degree, but we wanted to show what our students could do.
Samantha Hardenburgh '03 & '05
Snow days were very scarce back when I was in college, but there was a winter where part of campus lost power in a blizzard. We played games by candlelight, went sledding and overall had a great time!
Jessica Moskalewski '15 & '17
While at GVSU, I was a member of the Track & Field and Cross Country teams. My favorite memory was winning the cross country national meet in Louisville, KY during a festival year (2014) and finishing 1-2-3 with my teammates.
