Students walking on GVSU campus
 Homecoming at Grand Valley gives you time to pause and reflect on the many memories you had during your time at Grand Valley. As you reminisce, you may be thinking of ways that the university could continue or enhance how it assists students and programs you value. One way to do this is by putting Grand Valley in your estate plans and leaving a lasting impact.
