Sitting at Their Feet: History of Black GVSU Panel
Thursday, February 26, 2026
5:30 p.m.
Allendale Campus
Alumni, Community, Faculty, Staff, Students
To preserve history, we must listen to those who lived the moment and tell the story. While technology has given us the ability to access more information across the globe than ever, we often miss out on some of the best lessons from those closest around. Sometimes it's best to sit at their feet and listen. Grand Valley State University is fortunate to have Cassonya Carter, Takeelia Garrett, and Bobby J. Springer, who have poured into generations of Black students, faculty, and staff. Their names are not only staples in the community, but their stories are pivotal to elevating our history.
