The Seal of Saginaw Valley State University The triangle within the SVSU seal symbolizes the geo­ graphical area formed by Bay City, Midland and Saginaw. It denotes the linking of three separate communities and surrounding areas through an institution dedicated to higher education.

Three symbols within the seal are of Egyptian ori­ gin. The figure at the top represents life, denoting that education is an ongoing, life-long process and has a value that lasts forever.

The symbol at the lower left represents light-perhaps the inner light. It recognizes that our knowledge is a torch of smokey pine that lights the pathway but one step ahead. Opposite the light of knowledge in the lower right comer is a staff, which stands for strength. This may be regarded as an appeal for the endurance necessary to search for and find the truth, as well as the strength to speak and live it.

The year of the University's founding, 1963, appears below the triangle.
