Join us for an engaging and informative visit designed to showcase the full academic and student experience at Saginaw Valley State University. Your day will begin with a welcome presentation highlighting SVSU’s academic offerings, student support resources, and campus culture.
Following the presentation, you’ll take part in a guided walking tour of our scenic campus, led by a current SVSU student. The tour includes a complimentary lunch in our modern dining facility, visits to our nationally ranked residence halls, academic buildings, and classrooms.
During the event, you'll also have the opportunity to connect with faculty members and learn more about your intended major. If you're still exploring academic options, we encourage you to use this time to discover programs that align with your interests and goals.
The day concludes with a Student Services Fair, where representatives from key departments—such as Financial Aid, Housing, Study Abroad, Multicultural Services, and Student Life—will be available to answer your questions and help you take your next steps.
