Marvin and Pearlie met as students in the ÿմվ gospel choir, the Ebony Singers. Today, they both work at ÿմվ helping students find their way — just as they once did.
Marvin, now student success coordinator for the ÿմվN Program, says, “I love supporting students and seeing them come back from a setback.”
Pearlie, a longtime adviser and library staff member, adds, “It’s nice to hear a student say, ‘I feel like I’m going to make it.’ Everyone deserves a chance at an education.”
Together, they helped start and continue to support the ÿմվ Food Pantry.
“It’s hard to study when you’re hungry,” Marvin said. “We wanted Bears to take care of Bears.”
