Pamela Besteman '96

During a winter practice for the Rowing Team, our coach had us play soccer on the Ski Hill. We had so much fun running up and down the hill, chasing the ball, tackling each other, and laughing our heads off while trying to beat our teammates.

Andy Beachnau '85

Adding lights to the Varsity and Intramural fields (play on Lakers!)

Manfred Tatzmann '70

The thrill of being on a new campus where Vietnam protests were as accepted as the traditional West Michigan values. Most important though is meeting my wife and developing lifelong friendships.

Deidre Butkus '10

Meeting some of my best friends and attending GVSU football games where we cheer on our Lakers!

Anne McAuley Logan '69

In the Fall of 1966, I remember asking the athletic director if we could have a woman's crew. He said, sure. Just bring me some interested students!

Jessica Carlson '09

My roommate was from Chicago and the Bears were in the Superbowl in 2007. The snow did not stop us from bundling up and heading out to Superbowl watch parties along 48th Ave!

Mariah West '16

One of my favorite memories from GVSU is being accepted into the highly competitive nursing program.

Lewis Brody '17

My favorite memory at GVSU is being recognized by BSU as the person who spent the most time in the library for two years.

Elise Van De Steenoven '20

My favorite memory in my master's program was one of the first weeks we had a panel night where other executives in the field talked to us about their career paths.

Nathaniel Wagner '20 & '22

I loved working as a student laboratory assistant in the biology department throughout my undergraduate career; I had the best boss and the faculty and staff were all great to work with.
