A Message from Our President
As we move into February, we recognize and celebrate Black History Month—a time to honor the trailblazers who paved the way for us. Their sacrifices, resilience, and achievements have created opportunities that we now enjoy. It is our responsibility to continue that legacy, ensuring that future generations of Grambling State University students and alumni thrive. Therefore, we will continue to focus our efforts on alumni membership growth and reactivating chapters in the communities in which we live. The strength of our alumni association lies in our ability to engage, support, and uplift one another while ensuring that our beloved Grambling State University continues to thrive.
Two key focus areas for the upcoming year are innovation and infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on:
- Membership – Expanding our reach and increasing engagement
- Processes & Operations – Improving how we conduct 501(c)(3) business
- Financial Management – Strengthening our financial processes and budgeting to secure a sustainable future
Our success depends on active participation, and we need more alumni to join committees to help drive these initiatives forward. If you’re looking for a way to make a tangible impact, now is the time to step up and get involved!
Also, our students continue to make us proud, and we want to ensure we’re supporting GSU in every way possible. Whether it's through attendance at events, donations to worthy causes, or advocacy, let’s show up and show out for our Tigers!
This year, we are embracing the theme Forward, which represents our commitment to advancing the mission of GUNAA and Grambling State University:
F – Foster a culture of giving
O – Outreach to engage alumni
R – Recruit new members & supporters
W – Work in partnership with GSU
A – Amplify GSU pride & legacy
R – Recognize and celebrate
D – Drive sustainable progress
As we continue to push Forward, let’s honor the past by committing ourselves to the future. The legacy of those who came before us is now in our hands, and it’s up to us to ensure that Grambling remains strong for generations to come.
Let’s make 2025 a year of action and impact!
