SVSU History Saginaw valley state university was founded in 1963. It is the newest of Michigan’s 15 state institutions. In 1963 Saginaw was chartered a private college. It’s roots go back to the early 1950 s when Saginaw, Bay and Midland county leaders began asking the Michigan legislature for a four-year college. The legislature told the citizens to first establish a two-year community college. citizens formed a 300 -member committee to study the proposal for a two-year community college, and the results of the committee's efforts was the establishment of neighboring Delta College in 1957. On November 13, 1963, the legislature granted a charter to establish a private, fouryear liberal arts institution, known as Saginaw Valley College (SVC). SVC became part of Michigan's system of state-supported colleges in 1965. It was renamed Saginaw Valley State College in 1975 and Saginaw Valley State University in 1987.
