Campus Cultural Groups
Campus Cultural Groups
Traveling to new places is an unforgettable experience. The foods you eat, buildings you see, and the knowledge you gain is life changing. One of the most important influences that can impact your stay is the people you meet and the interaction that transpires.
To get to know the campus and students better, it is important to become involved in campus life. There are more than 200 student clubs/organizations offered at Grand Valley State University. Offered clubs/organizations allow the campus community of students, faculty, and staff to interact.
