Alumni Business Directory
Kalamazoo Valley Community College is proud of our alumni. Many have created independently owned small businesses that are vital to our community. As a way to showcase the accomplishments of Kalamazoo Valley alumni, we are creating an Alumni-Owned Business Directory. This directory will be accessible by Kalamazoo Valley alumni, faculty, staff and the community at large.
To have your Kalamazoo Valley alumni-owned business included in the Kalamazoo Valley Cougars' Business Directory, please complete and submit this online form.
Submitted businesses should be independently owned and operated by a Kalamazoo Valley alumnus/alumna who earned a degree or certificate. Businesses will be listed at the discretion of Kalamazoo Valley Community College. Submissions will be reviewed and the owner's Kalamazoo Valley alumni status verified. Businesses that do not align with the college's values will not be included. (https://www.kvcc.edu/about/boardoftrustees/policies/BP402.htm)
