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!
