Join us at the Kick-off celebrations on Wednesday, January 14 and Thursday, January 15, 2026. Share your topic, plan how to collect data, and grab materials (postcard, markers, etc.). Not sure what topic you want to explore? The Dear Data @ GVSU Team will be there for brainstorming and data collection tips. 

Midpoint Meet Up Event – February 10, 2026  

Dear Data participants are also encouraged to attend the Dear Data @ GVSU Midpoint Meet Up. You can learn more about the submission process or simply make time to draw and illustrate.

We’ll wrap up the project with a celebration and public display of all submitted postcards in the library. 
The deadline for postcard submissions is in March.  Postcards can be submitted digitally or physically. 

All Dear Data @ GVSU events are casual, drop-in gatherings where guests can arrive and leave at their convenience.
