Thoughts on Time at Grand Valley:
"I can honestly only say amazing things about GVSU's
physical education teaching program! The facilities are some of the
best in the state and their faculty, well you won't find better
professors out there. I can say that when I was there I wasn't
attending classes, I was spending time with my physical education
family. I met so many friends that I still stay in contact with today
and that includes the professors. We all looked out for each other
during class and then we would hangout afterwards. The professors
genuinely care about you and want to get to know you personally. The
professors helped build me into the teacher I am today. I am grateful
for the time I was able to spend at GVSU and am still proud to this
day to call myself a Laker!"
