Last night we had the honor of hosting our annual Student Veteran Graduation Dinner and celebrating an incredible group of graduates.

One of the most meaningful moments of the evening was hearing students share emotional and heartfelt stories as they presented challenge coins to the people who made the greatest impact on their journey at Saginaw Valley State University.

This is definitely one of our favorite events of the year!
Congratulations to all students graduating this weekend. We are so proud of you!

Wishing all a restful holiday break!

Our Cardinals have left the nest for semester break, so it's time to collect our breath and enjoy the holidays with family and friends. SVSU offices will be closed for the holidays beginning at the close of business Tuesday, Dec. 23, and will re-open on Monday, January 5. If you have an urgent matter, you can direct message us and we'll do our best to direct your concern and resolve your issue. Otherwise, enjoy the break!
