Blue & Gold Vision

Although Southern Arkansas University is known for its strong academic programs, most of these programs have seen outstanding results with limited and outdated resources. In order to expand the resources the University has to offer and to take SAU to the forefront as a leading university, the Blue and Gold Vision was implemented in 2002. The Blue and Gold Vision is SAU’s first-ever capital campaign to raise $102.2 million for improvements to the University through a mix of public and private financing.

Through the Blue and Gold Vision, SAU will be investing in its faculty, students and campus.
