She will be entering the Master’s program in College Student Affairs Leadership (CSAL) in fall. Samm was a 4-year varsity lacrosse player who came to GVSU from Maryland. Samm has worked in the Milton E. Ford LGBT Resource Center and is involved the Women’s Center. As an undergrad, she was a leading advocate for inclusion and equity for students on campus.
