Fort Valley State University

Today, paused to reflect and commemorate Juneteenth. Short for June Nineteenth, Juneteenth, marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas in 1865, to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed.

Also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, Juneteenth honors the end of slavery and is considered the longest-running African American holiday.

Happy Juneteenth from the family!💙💛🖤💚❤️

Today, announces the members of the Presidential Search Committee, a dedicated group of stakeholders charged with helping identify the university's next president.

As this important process moves forward, we are grateful for the continued leadership of President Jones, who will remain in his role as president until a successor is selected. His commitment to FVSU will help ensure a smooth transition while the committee works to identify the university's next leader.

As we build on 130 years of unapologetic excellence, we look forward to a thoughtful search process and an exciting future for Fort Valley State University.💙💛
