Grand Valley State University, more than 25,000 students study here, dream and succeed here.
They are Lakers, looking to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
They go where they never thought they would, they learn more then they ever thought they
could.
They join groups and they work in teams, but there are many individual trials and triumphs.
Through it all, every student, every graduate, every alumni is making their mark, having
their own Laker effect.
Being a Laker is being a service leader, it's being engaged in your community, it's about
volunteering; it's about stepping outside of yourself to maybe look at a different perspective
that you hadn't considered.
There is just such sense of community here, and I honestly think there is a place for
everyone.
I came to Grand Valley and I saw the campus, and it was as if it was home, you know?
The grass, the buildings, everything was gorgeous.
I took quite a few chemistry classes, and microbiology and I realized how much I enjoyed
them.
So, Grand Valley has actually helped me find like what I am truly passionate about.
I came here and I started working with Special Olympics.
I got to know a lot Physical Therapists through that and people within my future community
of work.
With Farm Club I had the opportunity to work outside at the sustainable agriculture project,
on a plot, which is something I had never had a chance to do before.
I would love to work with renewable energy.
Grand Valley Track and Field is so successful; my team is like my support system.
It's just those bonds you build between your teammates are just something you won't
forget ever.
From the very first week, my professors were striving to know me by name, which was really
awesome.
And, I like that every day I am challenged by my professors to always work and produce
my best work.
I really try hard to make a connection with the students.
I might have students that work the night shift, and so I will make site visits during
the middle of the night, because it's during that time that they can actually sit with
me and talk with me for a while.
But then we can talk about their future, is there anything that I can do to help prepare
them for that next step?
I want them to find that position of their dreams, so that when they start their first
career that they are happy.
Nursing can be hard and I want them to know that even after they leave Grand Valley, they
still have resources here that can help them because we want them to be successful.
My broadcasting career really got it's start at Grand Valley, I started out working at
the radio station as a reporter, at the college and that led into an internship, and that
eventually led into my television career.
I am so proud to be a Laker.
I work in Los Angeles, one of the biggest markets in the country and I work alongside
reporters that went to an ivy league schools, went to the top rated journalism schools in
the country, yet Grand Valley enabled me to compete with them, and not just compete with
them but beat them.
Winning on stories and awards, and really all of that foundation came from Grand Valley.
The more that you can use your education to better the lives of your community around
you; the better off you'll be in life.
It feels amazing sometimes that I've made it this far, but I feel that the road ahead
is still long and I am going to take it one step at a time.
They are a Laker for a lifetime, so since they are a Laker for a lifetime, they can
come to Grand Valley at any time.
For all the bright young graduates who are watching this video, I know this feels sort
of like the end of something, and it is.
But, it is also the beginning, and I know that if you're like me, Grand Valley has
set a great foundation for your life and for your career, and has really helped you develop
those wings, and now it is time to fly.
You have received the Grand Valley foundation, you have the wings, sore high and make sure
the world sees and fells your Laker effect.
Congratulations, you made it.
