SVSU Alumni Association & The Becker Family

Bob Becker was Athletic Director at SVSU from 1980-1998 and while under Mr. Becker’s leadership, the SVSU Athletic Department experienced solid growth and many athletic successes. Mr. Becker served the University in various roles for over 30 years. In consultation with Eugene Hamilton (Government and Community Relations), Mr. Becker helped choose the cardinal as the SVSU mascot in 1970.
The scholarship was established by the SVSU Alumni Association to recognize Mr. Becker’s contributions to the University. The scholarship endowment was created by proceeds from annual golf outings attended by SVSU staff, faculty, alumni, and friends.
