Alumni Spotlights
Sonja Forte '03
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.
David Luke '07
My favorite GVSU memories are probably related to the group road trips to Florence, Alabama for the 2005 and 2006 Division II National Championship football games.
Madison Moore '24
There are too many! Living in my sorority house, studying abroad in Italy, and working as a student assistant at the Alumni House, to name a few.
Madison Spratt '19
Late night Orgo study sessions, making friends who I'm still close with today in lab, taking courses that pushed me out of my STEM comfort zone, and the feeling of community that came from being part of a small major.
