My favorite GVSU memory was Lavender Graduation. It was amazing to be in community with so many peers I had learned from throughout my time at GVSU and to celebrate faculty and staff who uplifted and supported us.

One of my favorite memories was meeting and interacting with the residents on my floor. I enjoyed getting to know them and helping them as they started their journey at Grand Valley.
