Besides networking with my CSAL Cohort, my favorite memory was competing in the Sawyer competition in 2018. The competition called for students to dress like a sawyer for an opportunity to be showcased at one of the games.

My favorite memory at Grand Valley would have to be the many memorable friendships and relationships I was able to build given the nature of the welcoming environment set forth by the university.

One of my favorite GVSU memories is the first snowfall, walking across the bridge and seeing the large blue art piece lightly covered in snow.

During a winter practice for the Rowing Team, our coach had us play soccer on the Ski Hill. We had so much fun running up and down the hill, chasing the ball, tackling each other, and laughing our heads off while trying to beat our teammates.
Andy Beachnau '85
Adding lights to the Varsity and Intramural fields (play on Lakers!)
Manfred Tatzmann '70
The thrill of being on a new campus where Vietnam protests were as accepted as the traditional West Michigan values. Most important though is meeting my wife and developing lifelong friendships.
Deidre Butkus '10
Meeting some of my best friends and attending GVSU football games where we cheer on our Lakers!
Anne McAuley Logan '69
In the Fall of 1966, I remember asking the athletic director if we could have a woman's crew. He said, sure. Just bring me some interested students!

My roommate was from Chicago and the Bears were in the Superbowl in 2007. The snow did not stop us from bundling up and heading out to Superbowl watch parties along 48th Ave!
Mariah West '16
One of my favorite memories from GVSU is being accepted into the highly competitive nursing program.
