Orientation at Grand Valley State University isn’t just a milestone for new students—it’s a key event for the Allendale community. As students and families descend on the main campus, the Louis Armstrong Theatre becomes a focal point where locals meet newcomers, businesses welcome future residents, and the university strengthens its bonds with the town. The concert atmosphere isn’t just fun—it energizes the whole community, supporting local shops, showcasing Allendale pride, and building lasting connections. This Orientation brings together the university and Allendale, celebrating growth, unity, and the Laker spirit in our hometown!
