A Website Designed by Students for Students

We would like to extend a special thank you to Justin, Jennifer, James, Greg, and Brian, the five very dedicated and talented students who spent their summer recreating the Ferris-Grand Rapids website. 

We value all of our students and desire each one to have the most complete education experience during their time with us. We chose students to recreate our website versus hiring a professional agency so that students could have another opportunity to do professional work. Ferris-Grand Rapids was treated as the client and the students performed all of the work an agency would do. From the beginning, we trusted in their talent and their professionalism and we were never disappointed. 

We wish them well as they continue to pursue bigger and better opportunities.
