Message From Senior Marco Benedetti

Rowing at Grand Valley has, more than anything, given me a skill set that would have otherwise been unobtainable. In addition to time management skills, it has given me the drive to refuse to accept anything less than my best, and has enabled me to go beyond what I thought was possible for me academically. The social and leadership skills that I have learned through rowing have led to incredible opportunities, and I can only hope that they will continue to do so in the future. In addition, I have gotten to travel around the country and race at a level that greatly exceeded my expectations coming into the program. The lessons I have learned and friendships I have made through Grand Valley Rowing will hopefully remain with me for the rest of my life.
