COSA MEETING DATES 2026

COSA Hosted

The USG Staff Council Conference 2025

September 30 - October 1, 2025

At VSU, we strive for academic excellence. Our undergraduate and graduate students alike actively engage in scholarly activities with faculty members, providing opportunities for students to conduct research directly related to their selected discipline. 

Come experience the Southern Charm of Valdosta State University. 
Nestled in the heart of South Georgia. Known for its warm hospitality, tight-knit community, and beautiful Spanish Mission-style architecture, VSU offers a true taste of Southern charm. 

Come ready to connect, learn, and be inspired—Blazer-style!
