Our Focus Areas
Northern Michigan Region
Since establishing a regional presence in 1995, GVSU has been dedicated to expanding educational access, strengthening local talent pipelines, and supporting the economic vitality of Northern Michigan.
Students can complete bachelor’s and graduate degrees as well as short-term badges and certificates that meet evolving workforce needs without leaving the region, thanks to close collaboration with community colleges, employers, and community partners.
Looking ahead, GVSU is advancing four core regional priorities that reinforce our mission to serve, empower, and innovate alongside Northern Michigan’s communities.
- Increase Access to Rural Healthcare
- Grow the Blue & Green Economies
- Support Entrepreneurship & Innovation
- PK-12 Teacher & Leadership Pathways
