I have so many great memories of my time at GVSU, but probably the best one was meeting Adam Sandler.
Jeff Domagala '14
Being a part of the Cook Leadership Academy and being afforded opportunities like speakers, mentors, self-development, and building bonds with diverse peers. I now have the pleasure of giving back to the program both financially and as a mentor.

My favorite GV memory was when three other GVSU students and I went to CalvinHacks and won third place with a Chrome clickbait detector.
Petar Elieff '19
My favorite memory at GVSU was and always will be playing hockey with my friends on the roller hockey club. I am proud to say that I am still very close with all my teammates, they made my 4 years at GV the best ever!
