Saginaw Valley State University, commonly known as SVSU, is a state university in the middle of Michigan's lower penninsula in the Saginaw Valley region.
History
A huge fundraiser was held in 1965 to help lay the groundwork for a four-year university in the Tri-City area (Saginaw, Midland, Bay City). Corporations, private citizens and other donors contributed millions of dollars to purchase the vast stretch of land that SVSU sits on today. Originally called Saginaw Valley College, SVSU flourished in the 70s, 80s, 90s and currently employs hundreds of academic professionals and has an enrollment nearing 10,000 students. Its teaching program is popular and considered one of the best in the state.
