The School of Visual Alumni Group was founded with the purpose of providing a forum in which alumni of the Penn State School of Visual Arts (SoVA) can stay connected to each other and to the School, remain informed about the affairs of the School and the College.

The group hopes to assist the School, as appropriate, in the recruitment of students, and to support and encourage educational and career opportunities for students in the fields of visual arts and art education.
