There are so many great memories from GVSU but one I'm extremely grateful for is having the ability to take so many biomedical science courses, especially the cadaver labs.

some of my favorite Grand Valley memories are trips out to the lakeshore - Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland, and all the attractions and beaches in between - were always a highlight of my time at GV regardless of the season.

Studying in the old library with classmates right before finals! The comradery, sharing of ideas, strategies, stories and knowledge made my last year at Grand Valley State my favorite.

One of my favorite Grand Valley memories is, In 2014, GVSU had one of its few snow days when nearly two feet of snow fell overnight and all classes were cancelled. The campus turned into a giant winter wonderland and it was such a fun day.
