Gather. Lift. Launch.

Our Mission & Vision

Southern Virginia University is a private, self-reliant, residential university aligned with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints* and its principles and values.

Our mission is to gather faithful Latter-day Saints and like-minded students, lift them in intellect, character, and spirituality, and launch them into successful lives and careers.

We seek to establish a replicable self-sustaining model of higher education that can serve Latter-day Saints throughout the world.

* Southern Virginia University is a non-profit institution that is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Annual Fundraising Goal: $6M
