#GVSU recognizes and celebrates Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islander heritage this month, and always.

Congratulations to the Asian, Black, Native, Latino/a/x and LGBTQIA+ Lakers who participated in graduation celebrations this week. These ceremonies provide a space to acknowledge the diverse spirit of the GVSU community. Can't wait to celebrate with you at next week’s events!

Justice was done today, now our work continues.  Our hearts remain with the family and friends of Mr. Floyd.

A message to the GVSU community: In the midst of the murder trial of George Floyd, the tragic killing of Daunte Wright compounds the trauma and heartbreak that has been an ongoing reality for the Black community. Sadly, these tragedies revive deep wounds. (1/6)

To all those who celebrate, and for everyone a reminder. @GVSUMSA @CIRGVSU
