Join President Philomena V. Mantella and former GVSU presidents Tom Haas, Mark Murray, and Don Lubbers for a panel discussion reflecting on Grand Valley’s journey across decades of leadership. Together, the presidents will discuss what each administration inherited, the decisions that shaped the university’s growth, and the commitments that continue to guide its future.

At a time when higher education is navigating significant change — from evolving workforce demands to rapid technological innovation and shifting public expectations — this discussion offers a unique opportunity to hear how leadership across generations has positioned Grand Valley to adapt, innovate, and expand opportunity for students and the region.

Please join us for this special conversation and reflect on the people, partnerships, and shared commitments that have shaped Grand Valley’s past and will continue to guide its future.
