Dear Students, Families, and Community of Siena Heights University,

I want to personally acknowledge the uncertainty and challenges you are facing with the unexpected closure of SHU. Please know that you are not alone during this difficult time.

At Lake Superior State University, we are deeply committed to supporting you as you navigate this transition. Whether you’re looking to continue your academic journey or explore new opportunities, our team is here to help with care, clarity, and compassion.

LSSU is a campus that embodies many similarities to SHU — small class sizes, professors that care, and an opportunity for a more personalized education compared to larger institutions. I encourage you to explore the resources below, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We’re ready to assist you, every step of the way.

Sincerely,

Dr. David Travis Signature

Dr. David Travis
President, Lake Superior State University
