Late night Orgo study sessions, making friends who I'm still close with today in lab, taking courses that pushed me out of my STEM comfort zone, and the feeling of community that came from being part of a small major.

One of my favorite memories is choreographing an intro-level hip-hop dance for the GVSU Dance Troupe with my roommate/best friend. We had a lot of fun working out the choreography together, tie-dying the group's costumes, and getting to dance!

I was working late in Kindschi Hall on pouring an agarose gel for electrophoresis but I had mistakenly poured the gel too thick. I remember just laughing with my classmates because I'd review the progress hour after hour and nothing would change.

My favorite memories at Grand Valley were made at the Sustainable Agriculture Project (SAP). That is where I met my best friends, learned how to cook, became passionate about sustainability, and learned to keep bees.

I was lucky enough to have my Honors freshman sequence downtown. I enjoyed exploring and learning about the city of Grand Rapids.

My favorite memory was meeting my future wife in the basement of Mackinaw Hall while in Genetics class.

Being an RA on campus was such a fun time. Never a dull moment and SO many stories are still talked about. My best friends came out of that experience and we are still close now!

I remember having some of the very best professors and meeting some incredible people I still call friends.

As I was a military veteran and married when I entered GVSC, I was driven to excel in my education. The professors were excellent and I loved walking the then rough� campus, including ropes to assist on the sidewalks in the winter.

While attending GVSU, I lived on campus and had the opportunity to make lifelong friendships with my assigned roommates. Late-night Meijer, IHOP, and Steak n Shake runs will always make me smile.
