The Sounds of GU

What’s up, my friends? Welcome back to the Sounds of GU Podcast! More specifically, welcome to a series with GU alumni that have graduated recently. What can you expect from this series? Well, you will get the inside scoop on their experience at GU and how it’s shaped them to become who they are today. Each alumnus has a unique perspective, so I am so excited for you to hear about GU from all the different angles. You also get to learn about how GU shapes their students for their career, but not only academically, but also in work, family, and societal life. Today’s alumni is Michael Gonzalez, but his friends and most other people call him Gonzo. He is a 2020 graduate that now has a degree in Spanish Education. He has landed a job in his dream district, Chicago Public Schools. In this episode, we chat about what hybrid schooling is and how Greenville prepared him to take on the challenges it comes with. Gonzo was also part of the soccer team at GU. He tells a moving story about a professor that prayed over him during a game. This is one you will not want to miss! Website: https://www.greenville.edu/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBb5gu9H4Sg8k59Pz60mLAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/greenvilleuniv/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GreenvilleUnivFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/greenvilleuniversitySupport the show (https://www.greenville.edu/giving/)

Jantz, Jay, and J-money. This bright friend and I met in high school and have continued to be active friends ever since. I just couldn’t get enough of her, so I followed her to college. I’m just kidding, but seriously, she’s amazing. Not only do I see her as a close friend, but also a mentor, strong female leader, and influence for Christ. I became student body president after Jantzen graduated and filling her shoes was a tall order. Jantzen is intelligent, different, faithful, and just totally cool. This episode is one you will not want to miss. Alright, let’s do this! Website: https://www.greenville.edu/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBb5gu9H4Sg8k59Pz60mLAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/greenvilleuniv/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GreenvilleUnivFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/greenvilleuniversitySupport the show (https://www.greenville.edu/giving/)
