KJ Tucker '13 & '15
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.

My favorite Grand Valley memory was when I proposed to my wife, Valerie, with the Laker Marching Band playing behind us. We met during our freshman year in the LMB and have now been together for almost 9 years.

My favorite Grand Valley memory is walking between buildings holding a rope during snow storms.
Samantha Klokkert '20
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.
