University Center to Host September 23 Virtual Open House

The University Center at Kalamazoo Valley Community College combines the degree completion opportunities of four-year schools with the local convenience and services offered at a community college campus. Davenport University, Siena Heights University and Ferris State University all offer degree completion options through the University Center. The Center was established in 2015 when the partnership with Davenport was established. Siena Heights joined a year later and Ferris State is being added to the offerings this summer.

Representatives from each of the three universities are hosting a virtual open house for prospective students on Wednesday, September 23 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Links to the event will be posted at www.kvcc.edu/universitycenter.
