Valdosta State University is proud to celebrate the 800-plus students — representing 25 states and five foreign countries — who earned their degrees during Fall 2023. See the full list, excluding those students who opted out of public recognition, at https://valdosta.meritpages.com/.

Each of these graduates came to VSU with their own ideas and inspiration, and during their time as a student, they stepped outside their comfort zone, made an impact, created new knowledge, promoted an innovation-oriented culture, and developed the communication skills, connections, and critical thinking necessary to create a success story that's all their own.

Today we once again celebrate this powerful and positive community of Blazers and wish them all the best as they find genuine happiness and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives and use it to empower the people and places closest to them. 🔥
