Why did you choose Grand Valley State University?


GILLETT SOCIETY DONOR SPOTLIGHT


Kevin ’80 & Lori Houghton ’81, ’01 Rahrig


L: I knew that I wanted to become a registered nurse. My mom had always wanted to be a nurse (and earned her nursing degree later in life) and had encouraged me to pursue this dream. I was looking for an “on campus” college experience, but didn’t want to attend a large university. I didn’t know much about GVSU. I learned that GVSU had a great nursing program. I had a tour, I loved it, and the rest is history!


K: As a senior at Muskegon Catholic, Coach Jim Harkema offered me a scholarship to play football for GVSU. I knew it was a great school and had a strong business program. I was considering other schools, but was really sold on what GVSU had to offer.
