I love how small my program was at the time. I made some great friends with both students and faculty in my program. I never would have had that experience at a larger university, and I truly believe that set me up for success post-graduation!
One of my favorite memories at Grand Valley was studying abroad at the Cannes Film Festival in France. The work experience and opportunity to travel abroad was unforgettable!
One of my most unique memories was my freshman year, Takeelia Garrett (who is still part of the GV team) took me to Dean Merkles house to bake Christmas cookies.
There are too many favorite Grand Valley memories! Living in my sorority house, studying abroad in Italy, and working as a student assistant at the Alumni House, to name a few.
My favorite GV memory was when three other GVSU students and I went to CalvinHacks and won third place with a Chrome clickbait detector.
