Spotlights

Jamie Belt '19

One of my accounting professors (Sopariwala) once sat with me for 2 hours straight to help me understand my homework and prepare for the final exam. After he graded mine, he emailed me to let me know he was proud of my grade.

My favorite memories from GVSU were working at the Eberhard Center at the Conference Center, and getting to meet and serve students, faculty, staff and GVSU guests.

One of my favorite memories was the first time I met my freshman year roommate, who is now my best friend still to this day. We started as strangers awkwardly trying to be polite and courteous to good friends who travel together all the time!
