Marvin and Pearlie met as students in the UCA gospel choir, the Ebony Singers. Today, they both work at UCA helping students find their way — just as they once did.
Marvin, now student success coordinator for the UCAN 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 UCA Food Pantry.
“It’s hard to study when you’re hungry,” Marvin said. “We wanted Bears to take care of Bears.”
