President Philomena V. Mantella encourages faculty and staff members to participate in the Reach Higher 2025 Showcase on April 21 at the DeVos Center on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus.
“This first showcase will be a fun opportunity for the campus and West Michigan communities to truly experience what we mean when we say this university enriches society through excellent teaching, active scholarship, advancement of equity and public service,” Mantella said. “Empowered learning, innovative research, entrepreneurial ideas, community outreach and other work at Grand Valley improves our campus and builds a stronger Michigan economy.”
Faculty, staff and students are invited to submit their ideas that showcase how their work builds on one or more of Reach Higher commitments. The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 24.
