🎉 Sunday Shoutout 🎉

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing Chicago-area alumni who took the time to meet with university leadership during a recent visit! Your dedication and insights are truly invaluable and remind us of the strong community spirit that makes our university stand out. Alumni engagement like yours helps shape the future, and we're incredibly grateful for your continued support and enthusiasm.

Last night, Cardinals took over Chicago! What an incredible night connecting with our SVSU family in the Windy City. President Grant, along with Board members Raj Wiener and Ron Bacon, had a blast catching up with fellow Cardinals and hearing all your success stories. Thanks to everyone who made it out - these reunions remind us what makes the SVSU community so special.
