Welcome to SVSU! My name is Jennifer Pahl and I graduated from Frankenmuth High School in 1995. While at SVSU, I completed both my Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and my Master of Business Administration.

Even though I was only 20 minutes away from home as a student, I was fortunate to live on-campus where SVSU truly became my 'home away from home'. I was involved in numerous activities like being a Resident Assistant (RA) and being a member of great student organizations like Student Government and Alpha Sigma Alpha Sorority. SVSU's growth has been amazing over the last 10 years but we still maintain that one-on-one interaction that is so important to all students. Make sure you come visit Cardinal Country and check us out!

Hello! My name is Kate Hendershot. I am originally from Clinton Township, Michigan and graduated from Fraser High School in 2006. I am a proud Saginaw Valley State University Cardinal and graduated here with my Bachelor of Arts in History Education in 2010. While attending SVSU as an undergraduate, I was a President’s Scholarship recipient, as well as a University Foundation Scholar. I had an incredible experience living on campus all four years that I attended Saginaw Valley. I also had the benefit of working as a Club Red Tour Guide, a tutor for the College Success Program, as well as working with the Housing Office. I encourage all students to get involved with organizations on campus because I myself had such a positive experience being involved at SVSU with organizations such as Alpha Sigma Alpha, National Residence Hall Honorary, Alpha Phi Omega, and Study Abroad.

I am excited to meet all of you future Cardinals from the Western Michigan region! I hope to see you on campus soon!
