Each tour stop brings alumni and supporters together for a screening of MARCH ON, a Storyboard Studios Production, that explores Grambling State's multigenerational legacy, followed by a moderated conversation with prominent members of the GramFam and a reception centered on fellowship and connection.
"This tour allows us to share Grambling's story with alumni, friends, and communities nationwide," said Dr. Martin Lemelle Jr., President of Grambling State University. "As we honor the University's illustrious legacy, we are also reaffirming the enduring power of HBCUs to shape generations of future leaders and drive meaningful change."
MARCH ON follows three featured Gramblinites across generations: Denise Young '77, alumna and former C suite executive at Apple; Dalvin Adams '15, alumnus and Los Angeles based commercial photographer and entrepreneur; and Rylee Beaudion '28, a third generation Gramblinite majoring in Elementary Education and Visual and Performing Arts. Set against the backdrop of Grambling State's historic campus, the 35 minute film follows their stories from performing arts spaces and academic labs to the Square and the University's Digital Library and Learning Commons, revealing how Grambling State has changed, evolved, and continued to shape the lives of those who call it home.
The tour opens with four stops this fall:
- 09.03.26 — Grambling, LA — 11:00 AM
