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.

Some of the greatest memories at GVSU include spend long nights with friends studying when the new library opened my last year(2013-2014).
In 2017 I was on my sorority's executive board, Alpha Sigma Tau. I have always loved participating in sorority event coordination, helping train new members, and volunteering at Habitat for Humanity with my sorority sisters.
There are way too many special GV memories to share. All of them revolve around my time spent with friends on and off campus, traveling to national championships in football, and more.
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.
